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 in the past, I only watched it for the first time recently and realised i had been missing out! It's a very strange storyline and downright weird at times, but in a cool way - newlyweds Brad and Janet become stranded whilst driving on their way to their honeymoon (i think that's where they were going..but it doesnt really matter if not). Anyway, to get help, they approach a castle they passed earlier as it's their only hope of being able to call someone. Little do they know that it is home to a whole load of transylvanians - literally from out of this world! A crazy experience follows - they are introduced to "sweet transvestite" Frank N Furter, creepy brother and sister Riff Raff and Magenta and Frank N Furter's very own human creation, Rocky. Whilst Brad and Janet desperately wonder what they've gotten themselves into, the others sing and dance their way through the film, which includes the legendary "Time Warp". As the film goes on though, feelings of resentment and desire become apparent which leads to some dramatic events!
After watching the weird and wonderful rocky horror, I sat down to watch Shock Treatment. This film proved to be quite unmemorable - it was weird, but certainly not wonderful. The main plot is based on Brad and Janet entering a television game show, but honestly, I don't remember many details. It involves some of the same cast as rocky horror (richard o' brien, patricia quinn), and is also a musical, but it just doesnt measure up. In all honesty, it kind of creeped me out - it was just weird, not even in a cool, quirky sort of way. It was maybe the mental institute scenes with brad which put me off!
My advice would be to definitely purchase the rocky horror picture show, but leave out Shock Treatment as its not really worth watching!
building the perfect man while playing sexual games with his virginal visitors, sounds like an intriguing premise for a movie, then you're in for a treat. Not only isTh...
