Funny, Silly, Twisted Classic
22 March 2021
Incredibly this film was shot in two days by Roger Corman. Seymour Krelborn (Jonathan Haze) is about to be fired so he brings the idea to his boss Gravis Mushnik (Mel Welles) that he can bring in a nice, exotic plant to help with the plummeting sales. Seymour brings out the plant and has named in Audrey Jr. after his co-worker Audrey (Jackie Joseph) who he has a thing for. Sales are jumping through the roof, but Seymour learns that the plant's diet includes human blood.

Charles Griffith wrote the script and it is silly with good laughs through the entire picture. Followed by a stage play and a remake done by Frank Oz which I think was even better. I think a must-see for any horror fan out there and for anyone who has not seen a Roger Corman movie, maybe an excellent stepping point to get into his films. Also starring Dick Miller and Jack Nicholson in an early role.
