Overview
"Little Shop of Horrors" is a 1986 American sci-fi comedy musical film directed by Frank Oz. This adaptation of the off-Broadway musical of the same name features music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman. It is also based on the 1960 film "The Little Shop of Horrors," directed by Roger Corman. The film stars Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn, a nerdy florist who discovers that his Venus flytrap, named "Audrey II," has a knack for talking and a taste for blood.
Set in a rundown neighborhood of New York City known as "Skid Row," the story begins with a three-girl "Greek chorus" — Crystal, Ronnette, and Chiffon — who introduce the film and warn the audience of impending horror with the song "Prologue: Little Shop of Horrors." Seymour and his colleague Audrey (played by Ellen Greene) work at Mushnik's Flower Shop, which is struggling to attract customers. When Mr. Mushnik (played by Vincent Gardenia) decides to close the shop, Audrey suggests displaying Seymour's unusual plant, which leads to a surge in business.
As the plant gains popularity, it begins to wilt, prompting Seymour to discover that Audrey II requires human blood to thrive. The film features comedic performances from Steve Martin as the sadistic dentist Orin Scrivello, and includes special appearances by Jim Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Guest, and Bill Murray. Produced by David Geffen and released by Warner Bros. on December 19, 1986, "Little Shop of Horrors" combines humor, catchy musical numbers, and a touch of horror, making it a beloved classic.

Italian Translation - Overview
"La piccola bottega degli orrori" è un film musicale di fantascienza e commedia del 1986 diretto da Frank Oz. È un adattamento dell’omonimo musical off-Broadway con musiche di Alan Menken e testi di Howard Ashman, basato sul film originale del 1960 diretto da Roger Corman. Il protagonista è Rick Moranis, che interpreta Seymour Krelborn, un eccentrico fiorista che scopre che la sua pianta, una Venus acchiappamosche che chiama "Audrey II", può parlare — e ha sete di sangue.
La storia si svolge nel degradato quartiere di New York chiamato "Skid Row", dove un coro greco composto da tre ragazze — Crystal, Ronnette e Chiffon — introduce il film e avverte il pubblico degli orrori in arrivo, cantando "Prologue: Little Shop of Horrors". Seymour e la sua collega Audrey (interpretata da Ellen Greene) lavorano nel negozio di fiori Mushnik's, che fatica ad attirare clienti. Quando il signor Mushnik (Vincent Gardenia) decide di chiudere il negozio, Audrey suggerisce di esporre la strana pianta di Seymour, il che attira nuova clientela.
Man mano che la pianta diventa più popolare, comincia ad appassire, spingendo Seymour a scoprire che Audrey II ha bisogno di sangue umano per crescere. Nel film appare Steve Martin nel ruolo dello spietato dentista Orin Scrivello, e fanno cameo anche Jim Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Guest e Bill Murray. Prodotto da David Geffen, il film è stato distribuito dalla Warner Bros. il 19 dicembre 1986, diventando un classico amato grazie alla sua combinazione di umorismo, canzoni accattivanti e un pizzico di horror.
