THE ASTOR REVIEW

Based on Roger Corman’s 1960 black comedy, this musical version is a lot of fun. A geeky flower shop worker acquires a strange plant that needs human blood to survive. It becomes his pet until it turns with nasty ambtions. Steve Martin’s take as the sadistic dentist, with an Elvis flair, and Bill Murray as the masochistic patient is, alone, worth seeing this film for! GF
