On a wild and rain-swept late-November evening, somewhere at an empty stretch of road outside Ohio's merry Denton, blissfully-affianced, prudish, boringly-innocent young pair Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) find themselves stranded on their way to visit an ex-tutor. Instead, the couple will inadvertently unearth the cross-dressing Dr. Frank-N-Furter's (Tim Curry's) spooky lair of inexhaustible oddities, just in time to partake in the out-of-this-world mad scientist's proud unveiling of his latest, delightfully extravagant, most daring creation: the ultimate male and the perfect sex symbol: the flaxen-haired Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood). But, little by little, as the effervescent transgressive force gobbles up whole the unsuspecting visitors of the night, Brad and Janet slowly begin to embrace the potent fascinations of seduction, while an idolized Rocky roams free in the mansion. Who can interrupt man's union with the absolute pleasure?
Leave your thoughts about The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
| Little White LiesAndy TweddleOne hundred minutes of pure queer celebration that manages to concoct a bizarre cocktail of sincerity and reckless abandon. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenSo if you've been searching for the way home to Transylvania or are merely curious about perusing a weekend excursion, this show is your winning ticket. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA very good film in its own right; it's a triumph of clever filmmaking by Jim Sharman, who should have gone on to bigger things. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkFor a movie that's mostly a plotless mix of old sci-fi flicks and Bowie-esque gender-bending, Rocky Horror continues to charm. That's due in part to the honest delight we take in the freedoms this movie so cheerfully flaunts. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyLike the hugely successful B-Movie that inspired it, Harry Novak's 1965 sexploitation classic "Kiss Me Quick!" "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is an exploitation film that draws on a grab-bag of social identifiers to expand on conventional hypocrisies... |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxStrange, unique, and one-of-a-kind... provided you see it under the right conditions. |
| 7M PicturesKevin Carra lot of fun for fans of the science fiction and horror genres |
| IGNR.L. SchaefferIf you've never been to a midnight screening of Rocky Horror, please go. It's a delight. And if you can't make it, this Blu-ray attempts to bring that experience home. Just don't watch the film without, at least, some form of audience participation. It's just not much fun without it. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jane SchoettleThe plot is only semi-comprehensible, but the nearly non-stop musical numbers-brilliant conflations of glam-rock and showtunes-and transgressive sexual energy keep things moving. |
| EmpireAdam SmithThe powerhouse of the film is Tim Curry's cross-dressing alien, Frank N. Furter, who would never reach these kinds of gloriously demented heights again. |
