Feed Me, Seymour!

Director- Roger Corman
Starring- Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph, Mel Welles

Seymour Krelboin (Haze) is a florist who mistakenly breeds a plant that is so hungry it demands human meat. It's hard enough to get his life together and try to date Audrey (Joseph), he now has to find human victims for his plant.

The humor is a little risque for its time, but all in all, a good movie. The real standout is Jack Nicholson, who makes his film debut as a sadomasochistic dental patient that Seymour is forced to extract teeth from (after being mistaken for the dentist he killed). Nicholson could easily have gone into comedy back then, as his character is hilarious and well-acted.

The ending was pretty predictable, but still good, even if the movie itself is largely just silly.

Rating: 3/5 Bonedaddies.
