In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon), stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf) and a creepy butler (Richard O'Brien). Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named "Rocky."

Critics Consensus

Rocky Horror Picture Show brings its quirky characters in tight, but it's the narrative thrust that really drives audiences insane and keeps 'em doing the time warp again.

Andy Tweddle

Little White Lies

One hundred minutes of pure queer celebration that manages to concoct a bizarre cocktail of sincerity and reckless abandon.

Rated: 5/5

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

Cinema Sight

While it has its flaws, much of that is wonderfully lambasted by the audience participation, which has grown and adapted with each generation adding something and making this multi-generational experience one that you won’t soon forget.

Rated: 3.5/4

There's music, too, and drag, and all manner of strange beings.

them.

This musical horror-comedy, which follows a young couple as they stumble on a castle housing a curious group of sexually liberated characters, is one of the most influential films of the 20th century.

This is advertised as if its a movie but its more of a tribute show. I arrived to the theater unaware of that. They expect the audience to participate. If you are purchasing a ticket with the intent of just watching the film, this is not the show for you. Kudos to the cast and crew for their effort but I just wanted to watch a movie.

Im a fan of the movie and the audience participation when its done from the seats. But the live performance within the showing of the movie, was distracting and not very fun. A+ for the movie, F- for the sound and live show.

It was nice to watch the movie with audience participation. It had been quite a few years since I had seen it in a theater. It was a good time.
