About the Film
A comedy, a love story, and a cult classic starring a giant singing plant from outer space – what else could it be but Little Shop of Horrors? Seymour – an orphan and a nerd who works in a run-down flower shop on Skid Row – spends his time doing menial tasks and dreaming of his co-worker, Audrey. Then, one day, just after an eclipse of the sun, Seymour discovers a strange plant. The exotic plant draws customers, saves the flower shop from bankruptcy, and makes Seymour a hero in Audrey’s eyes. But the plant has a rather unique appetite … and it’s getting interested in Audrey too.

Why I love Little Shop of Horrors:
Every time I watch this movie ( and I have watched it a ton) I love it even more and more. The incredible puppetry is truly something you won’t find in a movie to date. And I mean who doesn’t love to sing along to Suddenly, Seymour! Steve Martin and Bill Murray are genius actors who made this movie musical one of my favorites!
5/5 for Little Shop of Horrors!
