“Shot in 2-1/2 days (plus one day of rehearsal), Horrors features a very funny script, about a plant that eats people, by Charles B. Griffith. (Griffith also provides the voice of the plant; legend has it that since he was on set anyway, he agreed to read the plant's dialogue as a ‘scratch track' to be looped later, but apparently, once Corman had the reading on tape, he decided he'd just as soon not pay for any looping he didn't need.) Horrors also includes a cut-rate satire on Dragnet, a lot of tasteless Yiddish schtick that's so silly it ends up being totally funny, and what may be Jack Nicholson's greatest performance - as a masochist who goes to the dentist. (Nicholson's scene was reportedly shot in a single take; if you watch closely, you'll notice the dentist's chair falling down as the shot dissolves.) Phrases like ‘monumental bad taste' pale beside the film itself; what we have here is a true American classic.”
