Fun, once you get past the camp

"First off, this is NOT a good movie. It does NOT star Jack Nicholson, either (he has a very small, though very funny role). That said, it is really fun to watch. Although it's a bit hard to imagine, this is a horror-comedy. If you think about the plot, it is a horror movie, but it doesn't take itself seriously and you shouldn't think about the plot. It plays up it's campiness. This film is known for being the movie shot in two days. It's a wonderful example of low budget done not too badly. Little Shop of Horrors is entertaining, and its a must-see if you're a fan of the amazing musical, since you get a sense of how the production evolved. If you want a chilling movie or one that requires any mental work, this one can't begin to satisfy you. If you're willing to pay for a really fun movie which gives you a glimpse into the start of a great actor and a great musical, by all means buy this."
