King of the B's, director Roger Corman shot this crazy beat-era classic in a mere two days, but it packs plenty of inspired lunacy and clever bits in its 70-minute running time. Jonathan Haze stars as clumsy assistant florist Seymour, who saves his job in Mr. Mushnik's skid-row flower shop when he brings in a unique man-eating plant. The problem is, it's a very hungry plant; every night it opens its huge jaws and demands to be fed, forcing poor Seymour to take to the street in search of victims, lest he disappoint his boss and his adoring girlfriend, Audrey (Jackie Joseph). From a zingy script by Charles Griffith, this hilarious black comedy overflows with great ideas and characters: Corman regular Dick Miller plays a hipster who eats flowers, and a very young Jack Nicholson takes a memorable turn as a masochistic dental patient. DRAGNET-style detective Joe Fink (Wally Campo) narrates as he slowly begins to track the killer down. This oft-revived favorite still generates plenty of laughs and chills, deserving of repeat viewings. A musical version debuted off-Broadway in 1982 and led to a film starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingJewel Case

The reality TV boom of the early 21st century forms the basis for this amusing, thoroughly post-modern horror movie. The film is set in a remote farm house, where some suitably empty-headed contestants for a new reality show arrive at the behest of a cigar-chomping TV producer, who aims to frighten the life out of them. The contestants soon uncover some evidence that suggests the house has witnessed some gruesome events in the past, and the caretaker who looks after the place gives them all the chills. As events escalate out of control when one of the cameramen winds up dead, the stars of the show try to figure out if the seemingly real killing is actually just an elaborate ruse on the part of the program makers. Facing grisly, permanent exits from the show, the contestants await a fate that`s even worse than being subjected to Simon Cowell`s (AMERICAN IDOL) acerbic wit....or do they? As they sink into its delicious blend of the horror-comedy of the Scream series with acutely observed conventions from reality TV, some viewers may find themselves wishing that REALITY KILLS wasn`t just a work of fiction!
