The Little Shop of Horrors
“The funniest picture this year!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 69, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A struggling florist discovers that his promising new plant has developed an unsustainable appetite. Roger Corman's scrappy black comedy lets verbal mistakes, peculiar customers and escalating desperation crowd the tiny shop. The poverty of the setting matters less than the speed of the comic invention.
