The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)


Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Jim Sharman
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Fox)

Newly engaged couple Brad and Janet run out of gas in the middle of nowhere and knock on the door of a castle down the road. They soon find themselves doing the Time Warp with a group of weirdos and their transsexual leader Dr. Frank-N-Furter. When not seducing Brad and Janet, ole Frankie lusts after his creation Rocky Horror, a hunky athlete in gold shorts. It all goes wrong when Dr. Frank murders motorcycle-riding Meatloaf and he reveals his true identity as an alien. It's all quite silly, and quite irresistible. Fantastic set designs by Terry Ackland-Snow, including a stage show on the RKO-Radio Pictures logo.
