With a hearty dose of camp and a campy bit of heart, there’s enough horror to satisfy genre fans and catchy tunes to sing you through the night.

If you've only seen the original theatrical cut of the horror comedy musical, it's worth watching Little Shop of Horrors: The Director's Cut!

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 18, 2023

Little Shop of Horrors is jivey, senseless fun. The stupidity is appealing, the way it is in great comic strips.

| Sep 13, 2023

One of the more delightful aspects of Little Shop of Horrors is how well it blends tragic characters and bloody murder with a genuine, heartfelt romance - an unlikely balance.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 12, 2022

Ellen Greene shows off her formidable singing ability, while Steve Martin is hilarious as the sadistic dentist Orin Scrivello.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2021

Levi Stubbs's big voice explodes from the insatiable plant, and there's a knockout turn by Steve Martin and Bill Murray as a sadistic dentist and his masochistic patient.

| Jan 9, 2018

A pulp pop twist on the original Roger Corman horror comedy that's funny, fun, catchy, and well worth its reputation.

Some of the slower tunes tend to grind but the sort of musical/ retro irony is still amusing in places. Not if you don't like dentists though.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 25, 2011

The best moments in this 1987 release belong to Dr. Steve Martin as a dentist with a professional yen for pain.

| May 25, 2011

Comic book creepiness, jazzy tunes, and fab cast.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 19, 2010

As a whole, the story is uninteresting, most of the characters contrived, and the vast majority of the 94 minutes is almost instantly forgettable, especially the man-eating plant from outer space.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 4, 2009

One and a half hours of freaky, scary nonsense set to a killer doo-wop soundtrack.

| Aug 25, 2008

You can try not liking this adaptation of the Off-Broadway musical hit -- it has no polish and a pushy way with a gag -- but the movie sneaks up on you, about as subtly as Audrey II.

| Aug 25, 2008

A fractured, funny production transported rather reluctantly from the stage to the screen.

| Aug 25, 2008

For all its expensive excess, fails to recapture the spirit of the original.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 25, 2008

Oz was no doubt hired to handle the plant monster puppet, but his brisk, lightweight direction spreads satisfyingly across the entire movie.
