Who's a virgin?
This is the most classic cult classic there is. Who can resist the transsexual love of Frank-n-Furter? The innocence of Brad& Janet? The rock of Meatloaf? Rose-tinting your world? This is the classic story of getting lost and ending up where you don't want to be. (Or do you?)Brad Majors and his fiancee Janet Weiss take a wrong turn and end up in a "Time...

DO NOT see the DVD! See it LIVE First!!
I rated this movie 3 stars because it really depends upon when and where you see it. If you have never seen it, and decide to watch the DVD in the privacy of your own home - I can almost guarantee you to hate it, hence the reason why many have given it a 1-star rating.

An horrifically fun fest of musical delights!, Mai 8 2007
I had to re write this first sentence because I was going to start this review by saying this is one of my few guilty(movie)pleasures.
But I can't honestly say I can feel guilty in any way about this film.It is such a fantastic send up and musical romp of the horror/sci fi film genre done in such a unique manner that I'm into it from beginning to end without a second thought.
Now this is a film I believe that to really experience it you should have seen it at least once at a movie theatre.There you would not only come to understand why it is such a cult phenom but it would enchance your viewing of it in your own home.I have seen it many,many times "live" and I always find myself referencing that when I watch it now at home.
I have watched this movie in home with people who had only heard of the film but never had had the opportunity to see it "live".Some have liked it but the general concensus is one of either "huh?" or "I don't get it".The sexual references in the film coupled with the suggestive dress seems to be an off-putting factor that with proper pre theatre exposure would I think in most cases allay their feelings quite a bit.
This review is probably going to be read more by those who are already RHPS converts so this is probably the one review I will ever write that will be preaching,more than any other,to the "choir".
However if you are a RHPS virgin,I would recommend you see this film "live" first,if at all possible.If you can't, just view it with an open mind and sit back and let IT do the walking and talking.You are in for a totally unique viewing experience unlike any other you will have.The plot is see through to be sure but let the characters and especially the music just wash over you and go with the wonderful flow.
Richard O'Brien masterminded this beauty which has been translated not only onto film but to wildly successful stage productions as well.I find it hasn't aged a bit and the hard driving soundtrack is a sure fire winner all the way.

This is the most classic cult classic there is. Who can resist the transsexual love of Frank-n-Furter? The innocence of Brad& Janet? The rock of Meatloaf? Rose-tinting your world?
This is the classic story of getting lost and ending up where you don't want to be. (Or do you?)Brad Majors and his fiancee Janet Weiss take a wrong turn and end up in a "Time Warp" with transvestites, created golden men and spontaneous dancing and singing. ("I'm just a sweet transvestite!")
Don't let the premise of the movie scare you away though...it's a must-see for anyone (who is not TOO young) Just don't take yourself seriously and get up and dance, throw toast, dress in some lingerie (especially you men out there) yell Who's a virgin? and have a smashing good time.

Mesmerizing film., Juil 15 2004
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 .
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 .
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 .
Inmediatly after its release this one acquired the status of cult movie.

Freaky Flesh-Fest Is No Family Friendly Film, But It Is Fun!, Fév 28 2004
Way back in the summer of 1978 I talked a bunch of my friends into going with me to a midnight showing of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. We were dumb teenagers, hiding beer in our clothes, sitting in the balcony of the theater. When those huge red lips hit the screen, we were hooked! I remember going every friday and saturday night for months after that. TRHPS became our religion and weekend entertainment in one! We threw the rice etc. Looking back, the alcohol was responsible for much of our fervor, as I see Rocky Horror as being about half of a good movie. Don't get me wrong, I'll always have a warm place in my heart for it, but sober, it's a completely different movie! The first half hour is priceless. It starts with those aforementioned lips, crooning the "Science Fiction Double Feature" track, much to the glee of my B-movie addicted heart. Next are Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Saranden) singing "Dammit Janet" after the wedding ceremony. This is followed by the classic "Over At The Frankenstein Place" accentuated by the eerie warblings of Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien) as he watches out a castle window. When Brad and Janet arrive at the manor, they are greeted by Riff Raff and are soon joined by Magenta (Patricia Quinn) to the building tune of "The Time Warp". The doors are thrown open on a ballroom full of transylvanian weirdos, including Columbia (Little Nell), the tap dancing girlfriend of Eddie (Meatloaf). If this isn't glorious enough, the entrance of Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry) singing "Sweet Transvestite" is the show-stopper! Alas, for me it's all downhill from there. There are some great numbers, like Eddie singing "Hot Patootie" or Frank N. Furter's sorrowful "I'm Going Home", but a lot of it sort of drags on aimlessly at many points. When no one's singing, it can get a little dull. I still recommend seeing Rocky Horror at least once. I also recommend getting the soundtrack. It helps if you're a schlocky / cheesey film fanatic like myself...

The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Fév 3 2004
If you want to see this film, see it first in a theater where audience participation is a must. Then buy the movie! The gothic nature of the film creates a comical balance with the all-american-sweethearts (played by Susan Sarandon and Barry Boswick), when a predictable flat tire brings together the characters of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. During the course of one night innocence is lost, sensuality runs amuck, and the dark humor never ends. From the moment Tim Curry appears in the movie, I knew I would be a fan for life. Meatloaf also has his brief moment to shine in this dark comedy. There is a narrator, so no viewers can loose site of the plot, and some lively costume undressing. There is a sci-fi undertone, several sloppy choreographed scenes (which play terribly well in this gothic toned movie), and even a dance you are sure to learn and use at your next theater viewing to impress friends that are virgins to the knowledge of this film.
On my second visit to a theater showing, I was fortunate enough to win a collectors item poster of the film. Though this was the icing on the cake, I later found that my enthusiasm for the Rocky Horror Picture Show was shared with many, making this movie a cult classic.
If you like this film, I reccommend Velvet Goldmine, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and Trainspotting.

DO NOT see the DVD! See it LIVE First!!, Janv. 5 2004
I rated this movie 3 stars because it really depends upon when and where you see it. If you have never seen it, and decide to watch the DVD in the privacy of your own home - I can almost guarantee you to hate it, hence the reason why many have given it a 1-star rating. It is a total B-Movie, and failed in 7 of the 8 theaters it premiered. HOWEVER if you open your mind to some good fun, find out where the midnight movies play in your neighborhood and check out the RHPS as it is meant... You are guaranteed a good time and would rate this movie 5 STARS!! I really don't know how to explain it any clearer. It is a combination of film, live theater, audience participation and dancing in the aisles all in one! You can't get ANY of this from the DVD, and you wouldn't understand it from the DVD if you didn't see it in the theater. No need to be so intimidated when you see everyone dressed as his or her favorite character - I've never attended dressed up. Remember this movie has been popular for 30 years... I saw it with my uncle, and can't wait to take my own kids when they are old enough (rated R). As for the stars, yes there is Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, MeatLoaf, and Charles Gray. Yes they were all relatively unknown at the time this was released, and yes many of them have tried to distance themselves from the project since its release. You would too... unless you fell under the spell of this cult-classic! Enjoy! NOW... Let there be LIPS!

Sickening, trite junk. don't hate me cause I hate it, Janv. 5 2004
It is totally lost on me how this film has a such a cult following. I'm no stranger to the macabre, the bizarre, or a mix of the two. But to what purpose does all of this serve?
It's not scary, and not funny. The song lyrics are one-note, juvenile and lame. "Damn it, Janet" over and over.Har har har. The cult status is almost sickening. Just look at the negative votes on the one-star reviews, no matter how well-written they are. That's right, the fanboys just want to de-grade sensible, well-written reviews. If you like the film, that's fine, I'm glad you took something away from the experience that I didn't. But don't hate me cause I hated it. I found it too long, too juvenile, convoluted, and shock-value-ridden. For midnight-drive in junkies re-living their pasts, im sure its great. But outsiders, ye be warned

The cult classic, Oct. 6 2003
Incredibly, I only just saw this movie about 10 years ago, after hearing about it for almost 20 years, and I was amazed at how well it stood up. The wacky blending of sci-fi, horror, blatent sex themes, and campy humor, (including some pretty kinky themes for the time) became one of the greatest cult movies of all time. Not far from me there was a theater that played the movie at midnight three nights a week, and this went on for years, but I never saw it during all that time.Then there's the fact that the movie is actually a musical with some very catchy music--another thing I hadn't realized until I saw the flick--and again, I was surprised at how well the music had stood the test of time. Tim Curry is superb in the main role as Dr. Frank N. Furter, the brilliant mad scientist from an advanced civilization of cross-dressers, and the other performances are good as well. Meatloaf does a standup job blasting out his hit song on the sax in his scene. It's still a wonderfully entertaining movie after all these years, which is all the more amazing since when it was released initially it was a flop.

'The Rocky Horror Show' Movie, Aoû 25 2003
Par Un client
There is one reason why everyone should see "The Rocky Horror Picture Show": it is the best cult film ever made. There are also three reasons why everyone should want to watch it: 1) It is one of the only 'R' rated musicals in existence. 2) It has strong science-fiction overtones. 3) It is very funny. The movie starts Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon (before they were stars) as the recently engaged Brad and Janet. However, they are upstaged in nearly every scene by Tim Curry who plays Frank N. Furter, the mad doctor. The cast delightfully performs many memorable songs including "Over at the Frankenstein Place" and, of course, the "Time Warp". To fully enjoy RHPS, one must not be closed minded or the picture could prove to be quite offensive. Don't think it's gratuitously violent- it isn't. Merely, the situations the characters find themselves in could shock or appall overly sensitive viewers. If you think you won't enjoy RHPS, going to a midnight screening might be your best bet. The live audience participation will guarantee you a good time, despite your opinion of the actual film. So overall, RHPS is quite a good adaptation of Richard O'Brien's original concept, which always honors its roots on the stage.
