5/10. In the non-musical original, klutz Seymour Krelboyne is played with a
right bumblingness by Jonathan Haze. He works at Mushnick's Flowers
along with Audrey (Jackie Joseph, who I don't think is as good as
Ellen Greene) and Mr. Mushnick himself (Mel Welles). Seymour finds a
new plant and tries to feed it, but it's sick. Nevertheless, it's
like nothing anyone has ever seen. After pricking his finger by
accident, Seymour finds out that Audrey Jr. (the plant) likes blood.
Soon he gets in over his head.
It's a fine movie, a couple laughs here and there, but I liked the
comedy-musical-horror version of the new one more. It did start off
immediately and went quickly (of course, it's 70 minutes long).
Look for Jack Nicholson as a masochistic dental patient. As I look at
what I've written, it's not much, but there isn't really much else to
say except that it has cheesy special effects but is still enjoyable.
