Black comedy about a young man who creates a carnivorous plant and must kill in order to feed it.
nudity | A kissing scene. A prostitute tries to get Seymour to cheat on Audrey with her. |
violence | The theme of the movie is a plant that eats people. A dentist is stabbed with a dental instrument, we see some blood. A man reads out a magazine aloud called "PAIN!!!!!" with a bunch of gory details. A man goes to a dentist to get pain, Seymour nervously tortures his mouth and the man seems to be enjoying it. A man is run over by a train and killed. We see Seymour feed the man to a plant, we see him take out the arm and feed it (a chunk of flesh is shown falling out of the stump). This is very unrealistic A man throws a large rock up into the air and the rock lands on a woman's head, killing her A few people are fed to the plants. A bank robber gets eaten by the plant, thinking there's money in it. Seymour is chased by a few people trying to kill him. Gunshots are fired but he doesn't get shot. Seymour climbs into the plant to kill it, but then the plant eats him |
profanity | None. |
alcohol | A man smokes a cigarette in one scene. Seymour's mother is sick, she is given an anisette that's supposed to help her. |
frightening | Some may jump when the plant says "Feed me!". The theme is a plant that eats people, which may disturb some. |
