Help me find a director/movie.

Help me find the director/movie about a plant, treated as a baby, that eats people.

The movie is about a couple who can't conceive. They end up finding a plant baby/thing and it ends up eating people in the apartment complex they live in. The film used a lot of stop motion/claymation, it was in black&white and the director/film was French or Italian. The movie was probably based on Kafka's The Metamorphosis.

If I recall correctly the director is famous for his use of stop motion/claymation and people had posted a lot of his shorts on youtube. No idea when he was working but I would guess the film was 30+ years old.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Oops. Missed the black and white part. Perhaps its the original 1960 version of The Little Shop of Horrors. Even then the director is American, not Italian.

Response by poster: Yes hapticactionnetwork! Looks like I was wrong about a lot of the additional info I gave. Yet you still found it. Thanks.
