The Little Shop of Horrors (1960)



A clumsy young man nurtures a plant and discovers that it's carnivorous, forcing him to kill to feed it.

Hilarious black comedy; the low-budget shows, but it's lively and immensely entertaining.

Halliwell**: "A Corman quickie, allegedly shot in two days, that is a lively, if occasionally ramshackle, comic delight with a notable cameo from Nicholson as a masocist."

Maltin***1/2: "Classic black comedy...Initially infamous as The Film Shot In Two Days, but now considered one of Corman's best pictures. Nicholson has hilarious bit as masochist who thrives on dental pain..."
