A gleefully offbeat blend of horror, comedy, and toe-tapping musical numbers, Little Shop of Horrors is a cult classic that’s as weird as it is wonderful.
Based on the off-Broadway musical (itself inspired by a 1960 B-movie), the film follows Seymour, a meek flower shop assistant who discovers a mysterious plant with a taste for blood - and a voice of its own. As the plant, Audrey II, grows, so does Seymour’s fame... but at a deadly cost.
Rick Moranis shines as the hapless hero, with a standout performance from Ellen Greene as the sweet but tragic Audrey. Steve Martin delivers a memorable turn as a sadistic dentist, and the film is packed with catchy songs, dark humour, and eye-popping practical effects. Directed with flair by Frank Oz, Little Shop of Horrors is a rare genre hybrid that manages to be hilarious, heartfelt, and horrifying all at once.
Perfect for fans of musicals and man-eating flora — it's proof that gardening can be murder.
