They give wacky a new meaning. - By: France fan, 08 May 2008 
I liked it alot. I prefer older, slightly unbelieveable movies to the newer, films which are mainly focused around the car crashes & the special effects than the plot & this film explains why.
Not very scary, more gruesome & makes you jump in parts. Definetly one to watch.
Love it!! - By: Azlak, 26 Aug 2007 Is it wrong that I remember watching Rocky Horror as a child & not finding anything at alll strange about it?
How can you describe Rocky Horror? Ingenuis songs & music? Hugely likeable & amusing characters? Brilliant acting? I think it's a combination of them alll.
I think Rocky Horror is a bit like marmite & I'm firmly in the 'love it' category. For those who aren't sure if they'd enjoy it, the plot is this.
Brad & Janet, two ordinary healthy kids, left Denton to visit a Dr Everett Scott. Along the way they have a blown tyre. They wander along the road looking for help & stumble upon an old castle. Janet, terrified, doesn't want to go any further. Brad, being the tought bloke insists they need to get to a phone & calll for help.
The castle's inhabitants aren't what they expect & they are dragged into a world they would never have thought existed...
What can be said about the acting that hasn't been said. Tim Curry is fantastic in this part (and curiously attractive..and that's from a straight female!). His voice is superb, his facial expressions are hilarious & the sheer perfection of his lipstick application is something to behold. It's a shame he now distances himself from Rocky Horror as he feels he's been typecast as this is probably his best ever performance. Tim Curry is a true showman, & it's shown in Rocky.
The music in this film is not only ingenuis, but massively catchy. I love how it's got a rock undertone & unlike Grease (dare I say it!) it's not cheesy. While the sets aren't stunning, that doesn't matter. Rocky captures something else. I guess that's what makes it so special, it's impossible to know what makes grown men dress in drag to go to the theatre to see this 25 year on, but Rocky manages it effortlessly.
I guess a lot of people are freaked out by the notion of transvestytes & the bi-sexuality of Frank-n-Furter. I don't feel freaked out at alll. In fact, Rocky makes me feel the same way Priscilla Queen of the Desert makes me feel. You just want to shed your inhibitions & say 'to hell with it!'
This film is just something else. I've been brought up on it's music, themes & general outragousness. Rocky also creates an open minded view about a lot of aspects in our society that we shun, or try & distance ourselves from. Despite Frank-n-Furter's actions, I felt sorry for him in the end. The thing is, we never actuallly know if he's good or bad. He just seems lost, & in a way it's tragic.
A fantastic film, which will very probably make you sing along.
(Also, keep an eye out for the Crystal Dome when they do the castle shot. No doubt Richard O'Brien's inspiration for his other classic idea!)
CHICKEN CURRY OR TIM CURRY - By: L. Wilson, 28 Jul 2007 
A brilliantly funny & very different film. Love it or hate it, it cannot be denied that Tim Currys` acting is superb & what a lot of bottle to play such a controversial part. 10 out of 10 Tim 4 out of 5 for the movie. Judge for yourself but you must watch this film without prejudice or preconceptions, its` subject matter is not to be a factor in your decision.
Let's do the Time Warp again! - By: Mr. C. J. Deacon, 16 Jul 2007 This is a great film, it has transvestites, ace dance moves, a Frankenstien sort of creation, it has lasers & everything. I strongly recommend that you buy this!!
A '70s classic - By: Kate, 29 Jun 2007 I saw Rocky Horror at Leicester Square the day after it opened in 1974 & it's remained a favourite. Sure it's dated, but that's exactly why it's so brilliant.
And I've been to enough fancy dress parties to know no man will ever look as good as Tim Curry in make-up & stockings!
