Originally a stage show, written by & starring the
genius behind The Crystal Maze – Richard O’Brien – this spoof horror comedy
made me jump, laugh and want to watch it all over again.
Narrated by a criminologist – The Rocky Horror Show tells
the story of Brad & Janet, a sweet college couple who having just gotten
engaged embark on a visit to one of their professors. But when their car breaks
down and the only salvation from the rain is a creepy castle, they are thrown into
the bizarre world of Dr Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite and his group of
Transylvanians.
As their host entertains them with the Time Warp & Sweet Transvestite they experience strange and
unexpected goings on including the creation of Rocky Horror – a creation of
Frank-N-Furter’s who along with the rest of the crew help Brad & Janet
experience the bizarre & wonderful.
Starring Tim Curry (with fabulous legs), Richard O’Brien,
Meat Loaf & Susan Sarandon, I wasn’t
really sure what to expect with this movie but I knew I had to watch it and
having enjoyed it so much, I now have tickets to see the 40th
anniversary theatre tour next year – high heels and fishnets at the ready!
No matter what your usual genre of movies is, everyone
should experience this movie.
