Horror. Comedy Seymour Krelboin (Jonathan Haze) is a young man who works in a flower store. He manages to create a carnivorous plant that feeds on human flesh. Nobody knows about it, so Seymour and the plant become good "friends". The plant needs food to grow up, so it convinces him to start killing people.

	Author	Review
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"It's one of the most grotesque and extreme of black comedies (...) Not for all tastes (...) it's still a grungy wonder."	POS
United States	Variety	"[It] is kind of one big sick joke, but it’s essentially harmless and good-natured (...) The acting is pleasantly preposterous"	POS
United Kingdom	Damon Wise Empire	"In its own small way it remains a masterpiece of invention, though it has to rely on excellent performances to make up for its under-whelming pay off (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
