Watch free: full movie The Little Shop of Horrors 1960
Prefer it restored and in HD? Rent or buy it
A clumsy florist's assistant on Skid Row breeds a strange plant to impress the girl he likes, only to find it talks, grows fast and wants human blood. Roger Corman famously shot it in about two days on leftover sets, and the speed shows in the best way: it's loose, deadpan and very funny, with a young Jack Nicholson stealing a scene as a dental patient who enjoys the drill. This is the black-and-white original that later became the stage musical and the 1986 film with the singing plant. The plot is the same story at its rawest, at just over an hour.
Watch it if you know the musical and want the original, or you like low-budget comedy horror.
Why is it free?
Its US copyright lapsed: US law at the time required a copyright notice on release and a renewal after 28 years, and the owners didn't keep it up, so it entered the public domain.
