The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Actors/Actresses:

- Tim Curry




There's no crime in giving yourself over to pleasure. ;D

Ah, yes! How can I possibly forget to provide a Halloween review for one of the greatest cult films of all time? What can I say about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that hasn't been said already? I can best describe this as a spooktacular musical extravanganza! A monstrous creation brought to life by genius Richard O'Brian, this movie is a decadent amalgamation of sex, science fiction, and horror. Don't worry about the R-rating, kiddies; "Rocky Horror" is one of the few provacative pictures that doesn't stretch across the borders of bad taste. And of course, the film has become even more incredible thanks to its infamous audience participation. Despite having debuted in theaters way back in 1975, "Rocky Horror's" infectious songs and fashion trends never get old!BR>Here's a brief synopsis for all you virgins: Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon play Brad and Janet, a pair of wholesome lovers who planned to announce their engagement to their former science teacher, Dr. Everett Scott (Johnathan Adams). But on a dark stormy night, after suffering a flat tire, Brad and Janet enter a castle owned by the film's star, Dr. Frankenfurter (Tim Curry), a delighfully evil scientist/ transvestite from the planet Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania! Put on your makeup and fishnet stockings! Let's do the Time Warp (again) with creepy handyman Riff Raff (Richard O'Brian), sultry maid Magenta (Patricia Quinn), and rock ; roll groupie Columbia (Nell Campbell). Even Meatloaf gets his own rock solo as the Doctor's motorcycling zombie Eddie (a rebel who ends up getting served for dinner!) Let's not forget also that "Rocky Horror's" unforgettable soundtrack and hilarious dialogue are all narrated by the dignified Criminologist (Charles Gray-RIP). This cult film is a must-have for all horror and musical lovers alike! Enter at your risk!


See What's On The Slab

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the biggest cult movie in history. A major part of the movie's appeal is the audience participation from dressing up like movie characters, singing along, using props and responding with lines. While you can never recreate this experience at home, this excellent 25th Anniversary disk does all it can to try and come close. You can choose a mode that has all the audience commentary, it gives you cues as to what to do in a particular scene and lyrics. The DVD also has the original UK version with the full "Super Heroes" scene. The film is better known for its audience antics, but the actors give gleefully campy and funny performances. Tim Curry is marvelous as the sweet transvestite, Dr. Frank N Furter. He camps around the screen with mock superiority. Barry Bostwick deliberately overacts as the rigid Brad Majors and Susan Sarandon plays the doe-eyed innocent Janet Weiss. Rocky Horror creator Richard O'Brian plays the handyman Riff Raff in a stiff and monotonic manner reminiscent of Lurch from the Addams Family. The movie is just plain fun.


Mesmerizing film.

This is a very outrageous movie. The rock is the background to tell us a horror movie but also spiced with sex , ransvestism and above all a splendid tribute to the movies specially King Kong .
BR>One couple strands in an old house full of weirdos . This movie (here between you and me)could have inspired for Tim Burton in Beetle juice .BR>In this decade there were great visuals films too . Sherman built a magnificent story absolutely free , intelligent and sarcastic, irreverent and bitter . You might state that Fellini's influence (dressed of english manners and clothes) is present all along the film .BR>Inmediatly after its release this one acquired the status of cult movie.
