5.0 out of 5 stars
Love it!!,
By Reader (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (2 Disc Special Edition) [1975] [DVD] (DVD)
Is it wrong that I remember watching Rocky Horror as a child and not finding anything at all strange about it?
How can you describe Rocky Horror? Ingenuis songs and music? Hugely likeable and amusing characters? Brilliant acting? I think it's a combination of them all. I think Rocky Horror is a bit like marmite and I'm firmly in the 'love it' category. For those who aren't sure if they'd enjoy it, the plot is this. Brad and Janet, two ordinary healthy kids, left Denton to visit a Dr Everett Scott. Along the way they have a blown tyre. They wander along the road looking for help and stumble upon an old castle. Janet, terrified, doesn't want to go any further. Brad, being the tought bloke insists they need to get to a phone and call for help. The castle's inhabitants aren't what they expect and they are dragged into a world they would never have thought existed... What can be said about the acting that hasn't been said. Tim Curry is fantastic in this part (and curiously attractive..and that's from a straight female!). His voice is superb, his facial expressions are hilarious and the sheer perfection of his lipstick application is something to behold. It's a shame he now distances himself from Rocky Horror as he feels he's been typecast as this is probably his best ever performance. Tim Curry is a true showman, and it's shown in Rocky. The music in this film is not only ingenuis, but massively catchy. I love how it's got a rock undertone and unlike Grease (dare I say it!) it's not cheesy. While the sets aren't stunning, that doesn't matter. Rocky captures something else. I guess that's what makes it so special, it's impossible to know what makes grown men dress in drag to go to the theatre to see this 25 year on, but Rocky manages it effortlessly. I guess a lot of people are freaked out by the notion of transvestytes and the bi-sexuality of Frank-n-Furter. I don't feel freaked out at all. In fact, Rocky makes me feel the same way Priscilla Queen of the Desert makes me feel. You just want to shed your inhibitions and say 'to hell with it!' This film is just something else. I've been brought up on it's music, themes and general outragousness. Rocky also creates an open minded view about a lot of aspects in our society that we shun, or try and distance ourselves from. Despite Frank-n-Furter's actions, I felt sorry for him in the end. The thing is, we never actually know if he's good or bad. He just seems lost, and in a way it's tragic. A fantastic film, which will very probably make you sing along. (Also, keep an eye out for the Crystal Dome when they do the castle shot. No doubt Richard O'Brien's inspiration for his other classic idea!)

This review is from: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (2 Disc Special Edition) [1975] [DVD] (DVD)
You must own this! A delightful, decadent display of bizarre, beautiful, transylvanian wackiness! Weird and wonderful. I guarantee you will become completely mesmerised by the sweetest transvestite in town - the delicious Dr Frank n Furter. He will lure you (you lucky things) further into the realms of pleasure with every pout, pucker, and fishnetted strut! All in all compelling entertainment and damn fine fun!!!!!!!!!

DVD version is superb,
By Mark Lamb (marcuslamb@yahoo.com) (Belfast, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (2 Disc Special Edition) [1975] [DVD] (DVD)
Not only this film an absolute classic with one of the best sound tracks I have ever heard in my life, but the DVD version is brilliant. It is worth the money just for all the special features alone, including the "Theatrical Experience", the audience participation tracks and the obligatory interviews.Absolute genius.
