The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Don't Dream It, Be It!

Ross Nobody (?)

What a movie! It grabs you, shakes you up, and spits you out as a transvestite with a fetish. From Brad and Janet, our so-called heroes, to Dr. Scott and Dr. Frank-N-Furter, noone is safe from the movie's motto - Give Yourself Over To Absolute Pleasure! The movie is faithful to the award-winning stage show - an amazing experience on stage or as a film.

However, it's the music which really gets you. Tunes from Richard O'Brien, the music is sometimes rocky, sometimes smooth ballads, and sometimes just groovy! The Time Warp is remade as one of the biggest theatre tunes of our time, and well deserved!

Well worth the watch!

Press Reviews

BBC

The film itself is filled with great tunes and a slightly loopy plot. So it's just like your common-or-garden musical in that way. Where the film really takes off is in its subversion of sexual mores as Brad and Janet break free from their normality... Full review.

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is not so much a movie as more of a long-running social phenomenon. When the film was first released in 1975 it was ignored by pretty much everyone, including the future fanatics who would eventually count the hundreds of times they'd seen it... Full review.

Variety [USA]

most of the jokes that might have seemed jolly fun on stage now appear obvious and even flat. The sparkle's gone... Full review.
