Two features. THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is a magical phenomenon unlike anything ever before seen onscreen. Borrowing largely from cinema's horror conventions, the film begins...
more...as an innocent young couple is stranded at the home of a mad scientist who is building the perfect man. The castle is filled with a most bizarre group of characters who worship their master, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, played magnificently by the fabulously sexy Tim Curry, in leather jacket, pearls, fishnet stockings, and heavy makeup. Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) are forced to examine their own sexuality as the voluptuous doctor releases the hidden desires in each of them. Based on the stage musical by Richard O'Brien (who also appears in the film as Riff Raff), the film comes alive with unforgettable song-and-dance numbers that have come to represent the sexual liberation of the 1970s. The outstanding costuming and makeup, the terrific acting by a group of relative unknowns (Curry, O'Brien, Bostwick, Sarandon, Nell Campbell, Patricia Quinn, Meat Loaf), and the memorable songs (Time Warp, Sweet Tranvestite) help make THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW one of the most bizarrely entertaining and satisfying musicals ever made. Also includes 'Shock Treatment'.

Review of The Rocky Horror Picture Show / Shock Treatment (DVD) by tracy112

Advantages: rocky horror - Very original, funny, good soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Shock treatment = v poor in comparison to rocky horror. just weird.

I watched the rocky horror picture show at a friend's house and immediately loved it! Whilst looking to buy the DVD for myself, i came across this dvd set, with rocky horror and the added bonus of a related "sequel" to rocky horror called Shock Treatment. I hadn't seen Shock Treatment but thought I'd like it, with it being so closely related and with a lot of the same cast. Firstly, I must say that I loved rocky horror. Despite it being so popular ...

Review of The Rocky Horror Picture Show / Shock Treatment (DVD) by baghera_gg

Advantages: absolutey excellent
Disadvantages: nothing

...when I watched it for the first time I just wanted to watch it over and over again until the DVD broke.

I enjoyed the character Janet played by susan surandon simply for her presence with in the movie. Brad and janet are a young ... Read review

Review of The Rocky Horror Picture Show / Shock Treatment (DVD) by biscuit17

Advantages: Funny, very enjoyable, the creation of the characters help to make the film!
Disadvantages: A little dated now

...is just as amazing as the last! This has to be one of the best musical films i have seen ever. It's funny aswell as serious in some places. I think you have to watch the film at least twice to understand the full extent of it. I've also been to see this show in a theatre, i think it was the best experience i have ever encountered while attending the theatre, the atmosphere was so amazing and everybody made the experience even more enjoyable. I think ... Read review
