A poor plant keeper finds love and success after nursing a rare carnivorous plant back to health, but the plant soon begins demanding more than just blood to survive... LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is back in business thanks to Frank Oz' brightly-lit remake as adapted from Ashman and Menken's Broadway musical. Seymour returns, this time played by the sheepish Rick Moranis who is in love with his shrill co-worker Audrey (Ellen Greene). Only Audrey's abusive boyfriend and a giant man-eating plant stand between true love, which leaves Seymour with quite the quandary... Moranis and Greene are inseparable on screen, each delivering playful performances along with the over-the-top cameos by Steve Martin and Bill Murray. Legendary filmmaker Frank Oz has unleashed some of his finest work in the Audrey II plant, which is brilliantly brought to life using only the most imaginative special effects that puppetry will allow. When coupled with the memorable music numbers, sharp wit, and satire of the script, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS becomes a true classic that even supersedes the dark humor of the original.
Rating: 9/10.
