To try and explain this would be futile. At most I would classify this as a dark comedy musical in where two people gets stranded in the middle of nowhere and seeks help to a nearby home they passed by. When they get to the house, they were in for a night that they wouldn’t imagine.
Tim
Curry was excellent. His grand entrance was memorable – his acting was
fantastic. He was definitely the star of the show. I also think this was peak
Tim Curry, I don’t know any roles of his after this that are as acclaimed as Dr
Frank N Furter. I can’t imagine any actor playing the role; his performance
is reason enough to watch this.
The
songs were catchy, the set looked great – it was a visual treat. This is the
kind of movie where you’re not in it for the plot as beyond the point to
introduce Curry, nothing really made sense anymore. But this movie
was so fun! It wasn’t what I expected, considering I was anticipating something
horrific to happen (due to the ‘horror’ in the title). I
have ‘abandoned’ my blind spot list for most of the year, and I’m glad I didn’t
miss out on this. The movie still holds up today, and is quite a delight.

Great review! I love this movie, I just re-watched it again the other day. It's so much fun. I get what you mean about the plot though, it's....strange. lol
ReplyDeleteThe plot doesn't make sense past the character introductions but this was a really fun film.
DeleteNice review! Rocky Horror is so much fun to watch, but I must say, halfway through I start feeling like I took hallucinogens and have no idea what's going on. lol
ReplyDeleteIt does get confusing after the character intros but it was really fun; no wonder it has a cult following!
