## Description

A newly engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must pay a call to the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Review: Movie Review - “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” directed by Jim Sharman hit the screens in 1975 and has become a cult classic and a Halloween tradition for many ever since. Based on the 1973 musical the movie follows newly engaged couple Brad and Janet as they venture to celebrate with their old science teacher, Dr. Scott. The tale is narrated by a criminologist played by Charles Gray and follows Brad and Janet as they make their way to visit their past teacher. Quickly Brad and Janet’s plans get interrupted as a stormy night and a flat tire lead them to seek out a telephone to call for help. The couple ends up at the castle, Dr. Frank-N-Furter and are invited in by Riff Raff, Magenta, and Columbia. Once entering the castle Brad and Janet are in for the ride of their lives and a night of insanity ensues, ending with Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott being left stumbling and confused in the wake of the castle lifting into space. Dr Frank-N-Furter played by Tim Curry, is a transvestite mad science from Transylvania and seeks to bring his perfect man “Rocky” played by Peter Hinwood, to life in a creation of Frankenstein type manner. Curry nails the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter complete with the stocking and garter and lace of corset style top. His mannerisms are perfectly over the top and provides a juxtaposition to the demur and conservative Brad and Janet. He was successfully able to emote even through the intense and heavy make-up he wore. A favorite scene of mine is Dr. Frank-N-Furter screaming and chasing Rocky as he runs away while Rocky and the Transylvanians sing “Sword of Damocles.” Rocky has just been brought to life and is having a crisis while Frank just wants to reap the benefits of his creation. All the songs of the film musical and catchy and well done. Starting with the opening of the Lips singing “Science Fiction/Double feature” sung by Patricia Quinn which acts as a preview into the events of the film for the audience. The film then ends with the reprise of the same song, recapping the events of the movie that had just unfolded. Other favorite songs featured in the film include the classic “The Time Warp”, “Sweet Transvestite”, and the uber catchy “Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me.” A particular favorite of mine is “The Time Warp.” Not only is the song extremely catchy but the scene itself cuts between the current time and the criminologist in the future instructing the audience on the steps of the dance. Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon, who play Brad and Janet react perfectly to the vulgar dance moves and the over-the-top production of the number. Overall, the production, though in the 70’s, was elaborate. The sets with full of detail and the vibe of the castle perfectly captures what one would think a mad scientists dwelling would look like. The costuming was also done very well, which each character having a unique and well-thought-out look. The punk and rock style of the music very much seemed to influence the style of the costumes from the ripped stockings, glitter, and brightly colored make up and hair. The costume designer, Susan Blane had actually worked on the stage version of the production and many costumes used in the stage version were reused for the film as well. A big difference between the movie and the musical stage production is the lack of interaction from the audience. An in person musical version of Rocky Horror will have various audience interactions from yelling obscenities to throwing different objects around the theater. However, the film still does a great job at capturing the audience’s attention. Rocky Horror Picture show is just fun. It’s a film not meant to be taken too seriously and is perfectly campy and over the top in a way that just makes you smile and laugh while watching it. The catchy songs and slightly over dramatic dialogue make this movie a cult classic and one that has become a tradition in movie theatres around Halloween time.
Review: Campy fun ~ a timeless piece! - I wish I had bought the movie instead of renting it, as I could watch it over and over again. It was fun to read the notes and stories from the filming. Rented it right after seeing the documentary Strange Journey, another must watch. So refreshing and so wonderful in so many ways!
