Synopsis

An awkward florist's assistant discovers that his unusual plant thrives on blood. Its spectacular growth attracts customers to a failing shop and gives Seymour the attention he has always wanted. The improvement comes with a terrible condition: his demanding creation is getting hungrier, and keeping it fed becomes a full-time nightmare.

Behind the scenes
