Movie Info

A creepy gardener (Joe Dallesandro) who has the ability to turn himself into a tree spends his spare time feeding his plants human flesh -- which only makes them crave the taste of blood. Obsessed with a beautiful woman who resists his affections, he sends her a bouquet of his people-eating posies and lets his bloodthirsty blooms do the dirty work. Katharine Houghton and Rita Gam co-star in this hair-raising horticultural flick.

R, 1 hr. 37 min.
