Movie Review of Little Shop of Horrors

Little Shop of Horrors is one of the most fascinating comedy horror movie that made use of the rock music to appeal to a large number of audience.

            Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn played the role of a geeky orphan who provided his services at a flower shop, Mushnik located in the Skid Row of urban region. Rick Moranis Seymour Krelborn had a crush on one of her colleague Ellen Greene as Audrey Fulquard, as a result of which Vincent Gardenia as Mr. Mushnik admonished him on frequent basis.

            One day, Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn came across a unique kind of plant. It was distinctive, mysterious and unexplored plant, therefore he named it as Audrey II (Levi Stubbs). The plant appears to have a blood craving and immediately it started to sing. Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn fed the plant with the blood of Audrey’s boyfriend. At the end, both Audrey and Seymour got married and came to their dream house, where the baby plant of Audrey II was implanted.

            The main actors and characters in the movie were Levi Stubbs as Audrey II (just a voice), Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn, Ellen Greene as Audrey and Vincent Gardenia as Mushnik. All actors were full of passion to entertain a large number of audience. They had physicality to convey the intentions, motivations and emotions of a character through speech and physical movement.

            The major theme of the play is that when a person put up an effort to please other people without giving any regard to himself, as a result of which he ends up in completely losing his own personality.

                Throughout the movie, the characters made use of dialects that provided a clear manifestation of urban life. Moreover, an urban dialect was also used by the plant, wherein the profanity was used throughout the song and dialogue of the movie. It was actually the persona of the urban plant that a baby Audrey spoke in a hip hop dialect at the end of the movie.

                Throughout the movie, the music was used before, during and after the movie, which really fascinated me the most. The sound effects were quite soothing and touchy. Any kind of sound reinforcement such as mikes was not used in the movie.

Overall, I felt that lightening effects were quite low. I think it was mainly because of the reason that movie was particular focused on addressing the “horror” aspects. The sound and set were appealing to me. The sound was actually used in accordance with the theme of the story and set of the story showed as if things were actually happening in real during the movie. All these elements clearly support the actors and script on the stage.

                Overall, the blocking, unity, rhythm and tempo of the elements were quite consistent. They were clearly aligned with the major theme of the story, which actually turns out to be a positive element in the movie.

            Based on the entire analysis, I would like to conclude that “Little Shop of Horrors” is the most interesting movie that made use of appropriate characters, clear lightening, fascinating songs and an overall good plot to catch the attention of readers. I really enjoyed watching the movie to a greater extent!
