Little Shop of Horrors: The Director's Cut + Theatrical (BD) [Blu-ray]

Bought our 2nd copy. Gave the first one to our Dentist.

It's a classic 80s movie and we really enjoyed watching it with my teens

The best animatronics and manual-action manipulation of real alien plants! LOL! Awesome movie, and had to have it. (My older brother is a dentist. I bury his patients who don't make it in the basement...)

Everyone loves this movie. Now so does the grandkids!

Bought this movie because I was feeling nostalgic, and loved it as a kid. What a great soundtrack! Threw it on to show my older kids, probably about 10 and 7 at the time. Yeah, I'd recommend rewatching it once or twice before making the same mistake I did.First, apparently giant people-eating plants are scary to kids nowadays. Second, the nitrous-inhaling dentist with a penchant for domestic violence isn't as entertaining to my kids as it was to me. Welp, tack that on to the future therapy bills I'm sure I'll be paying anyway.Great flick!

DVD was in good shape but didn’t like the movie…

MY FAVORITE MUSCIAL.I would buy it as many times as I needed too

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS started as a black and white cult film in 1960, then an off Broadway musical and finally we got this magical musical color film version LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS in 1986. The film is in no way dated and is more glorious than ever on this brilliant blu ray release. The film when first made had the darker ending that was the same as the off Broadway version. Screening audiences did not like it at all so a new theatrical version was made. The film was first released on dvd in 1998 and no dvd version compares in any way to this brilliant blu ray. The Director's Cut with the original ending was contained on the 1998 dvd release but it was in black and white and in no way appeared the way it was truly intended. Here, for the very first time, we get both the theatrical and original Director's Cut version shown in the exact same quality. What a treat for fans of the film and this blu ray should certainly earn the film many new fans.The video here is superb with excellent black/white ratio and colors that are vibrant and pop when need be and tone down when called for. The film needs to go from the slime of Skid Row to the glamour and glitz of the clothing of the story telling trio and the transition is seamless. Clarity is superb and flesh tones are realistic and clean. Close ups have crisp detail as does every detail of clothing, background and scenery. The plant itself is glorious and looks realistic and colorful. This film really does go all over the place with dark and bright, dull colors and vibrant colors and all scenes look amazing. The grain has not been changed at all either so the film looks exactly as it was meant to. Audio is also excellent. The songs and score here are excellent and all speakers are utilized with the DTS 5.1 audio track. Dialogue is crisp and clear throughout and the music blends in perfectly.Rick Moranis shines as the nerdy Seymour and Ellen Greene is glorious reprising her off Broadway performance as Audrey. Their duet on SUDDENLY SEYMOUR is a definite highlight of the film. Steve Martin and Bill Murray both have superb cameos. The story of a nerdy flower shop worker who discovers a strange and unusual plant that totally changes his life is original, wacky, witty and totally effective. This Director's Cut version comes in a great digibook with info on the cast, the making of the film and tons of color pictures. There is also a personal message from Frank Oz. This film was an all time favorite of mine when it came out and here on blu ray it far surpasses any expectations I had. It makes sense the stage version ending which worked great in the theater wasn't as effective in the film but finally the Director's Cut is seen as intended, in its entirety with the same respect as the theatrical version. This blu ray far surpasses any dvd version of the film released before. If you are a fan this is indeed a must buy. Blu ray makes this film sparkle and shine with great video and audio. Highly recommend.
