Synopsis
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 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'.

Customer Reviews

Be warned.....
Of course, we all know and love Rocky Horror, but what of Shock Treatment? Its new to DVD here but I have to warn you, the first time you watch it, you may not like it. It is disappointing after the brilliance of Rocky Horror but after watching Shock Treatment for the first time, there is a little voice lodged in your head saying "why not try again?" I did and I found I enjoyed it a lot more the second time around. Although Jessica Harper's performance cannot and never will match Susan Sarandon's as Janet, this film is still worth a watch. Just don't give up on it.

Rocky Horror ...yes/ Shock Treatment...no
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a classic, briliantly done & very entertaining.
I was therefore so disappointed with Shock Treatment...felt like turning it off after 20 minutes & wished I had by the end of the film!
