Reviews

littlejojo25 A fun, rude, rowdy, fantastical way to spend an evening. Go get your lighter out, and get ready to sing along!

dweilermg-1 According to the program I received at the live Rocky Horror Show stage play when Richard O'Brien wrote the original script, music and lyrics his intention was to produce a play that would fail but with a great musical soundtrack to establish himself as a great songwriter. Yet despite his intention RHS ended up a big success becoming the longest running play in the history of the London Palladium. It is truly life imitating art as just as fictional Max Bialystock wanted his musical Springtime For Hitler to fail O'Brien wanted his RHS to fail yet in both cases the plays were hits loved by the audience.

moshomaniac The story of a clean-cut bunch of kids who embark on a night out after getting engaged, only to end up breaking down and seeking refuge in the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a bisexual, transvestite mad scientist from outer space(you read that right). Frank is creating a man ala Frankenstein: the buff, blonde-haired Rocky Horror, who has been created as a means of relieving the doctor's sexual tension. Only the monster is straight. Before the night is over, Rocky Horror and the Doctor will be dead, the servants will leave for another planet, beaming up the whole house in their wake, and Brad and Janet will both lose their virginity and their own personal values.Richard O'Brien's madcap spoof of Sci-fi, B-movies, Horror, Rock Music, and sexuality first made its mark in 1973 as "The Rocky Horror Show", before it made its silver screen debut in 1975. The bizarre, genre defying, hilariously twisted film initially bombed in theatres before they realized that it needed to be played in the midnight circuits, then it soon became a cult phenomenon.To call the movie offbeat is an understatement. It is literally 2 hours of insanity, crazy, fitfully amusing insanity perhaps, but still insanity. Tim Curry's classic gender-bending role as the mad Dr. Furter has become his signature role, and the film has become less of a movie, and more of a full-blown ritual with its legions of fans. This film is best viewed with a audience, as the participation is the key to its full enjoyment. The songs and settings have become iconic, household tunes, and the film spawned a sequel, "Shock Treament", in 1981. Though the sequel didn't do very well, the original RHPS still enjoys success to this day, with over 40 years of midnight movie madness. Check it out.

O2D A very long time ago someone told me I needed to see this movie so I gave it a shot but I couldn't make it past the wedding. He told me to give it 5 more minutes,so I did.That time I made it until Frank showed up. The third time I made it all the way through and was in love with this movie.Since that day I have seen it over 300 times. RHPS is a science fiction musical comedy with a twist. An engaged couple gets a flat tire and go to a nearby castle to use the phone.Up to that point the movie seems like it's just a corny comedy but it gets really good. It turns out that the castle is actually a space ship from the planet Transsexual. The music is awesome and the story is great. This is a must see.
