1960 ****1/2 72 mins.
How could one not help but laugh, be scared at, and thoroughly enjoy this horror/comedy quickie from Roger Corman? Filmed in only two days, this classic film about a man who cross-breeds a couple plants to produce a giant man-eating plant is absolutely engrossing. Look for Jack Nicholson as the nerdy dental patient who refuses novocaine.
