The Little Shop of Horrors (1960)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 3/05

3/05: Once in a while, I'll watch a stupid movie, and this time, it's The Little Shop of Horrors.

At first, I was attracted to it because of Jack Nicholson which is the earliest performance I can recall seeing. Afterwards, I was somewhat disappointed but understood he had a long way to go, that is, nine years to establish himself as a solid actor.

The plot is cheap and lame, and the jokes are dumb. Jonathan Haze's character is so awful that I can't stand him. Why is he stupid to climb into the flower bulb?

All in all, shot in two and half days under a budget of $22,500, The Little Shop of Horrors is a D picture as it gets.
