The Rocky Horror Picture Show




Rating: R

Movie Release Date: August 14, 1975 (United Kingdom) / September 26, 1975 (USA)

Plot 411: A couple runs into some car trouble on a dark and stormy night and takes refuge at a creepy castle.

Review: Y'all know I love me some music and dancing, but this is one film that I can honestly say I will never watch again. This movie stars Susan Sarandon as Janet and Barry Bostwick as Brad, two lovers who find themselves in an awkward situation when their car breaks down. No, the problem isn't that they're two unchaperoned young people. It's more like they're situation goes from bad to worse when they seek shelter at a nearby home. The home's owner is Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry), a scientist who has created a Frankenstein-esque creature. The movie only gets more bizarre from here on in. I don't even know what else to tell you. There's singing and dancing and lots of weirdly dressed transexuals, cross dressers and what have you. I don't totally understand what happened as far as plot is concerned. To ask about the deeper implications of this film would just be foolish. The movie is a cult classic though, so there must be something redeeming about it. Unfortunately, I thoroughly fail to see what that is.

Watch It: At a midnight madness showing so you can really get into the act. People in the audience get up and participate in the show.

Skip It: If you don't like spending an hour and a half watching a movie and walking away more confused than when you walked in.
