Now I want to talk about the longest-running movie in the world 'Rocky Horror picture Show'. It is based on the worldwide popular musical. The story centers on a young couple and the inhabitats of a strange castle, reighed by the charismatic Dr.Frank-n-Furter and played by the famous Tim Currey. The film is directed by Jim Sharman and the film tells the story of wierdness and glam, love and murder, fake blood and mascara. Ok, ok I know you did not understand. The film begins as a couple enters a strange-looking castle with schizophrenical inhabitants. At first glance, the freaks are friendly and cute, but they are keeping a terrible misery quiet created by Dr.Frank-n-Furter, a sweet transvestite from the Transsexual planet in galactic Transylvania (as he calls himself). But can the human beings kill him and free all the freaks? For many fans,the best thing about ROCKY is the music and songs. I do not fully agree. I think that the lyrics are a bit stupid. On the other hand , I found a character who does not run in front on your eyes, but goes straight to your heart - Colombia, the servant of Dr.Frank-n-Furter, a beautiful young girl with red hair, make-up and a broken heart. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes musicals and glam. VERDICT:Let's do the time warp again!!!

it remains an experience. first , the second, the thirty time when you see it. because it is different by the horror or eccentric experiments or dark comedies. it preserves the recipe of old Gothic stories. and this is the basic virtue of a film who remains seductive for not easy to define reasons. because it gives a simple story, themes who are always interesting, good acting and the wise way to build the atmosphere, to use the kitsch in wise manner, to escape from the near reality in a sort of fairy tale.its significance - it is a story about ours.

This is the movie that defines the term "cult film", originally design to parody B-movies and touched subjects that were considered taboo in the 70's, mostly sexual. The songs are great. Still, the movie by itself would not be very appealing to many people, especially those who watch it for the first time if they do it at home. 99% of the fun is in theatrical screenings (Yes, this movie has never been pulled out of theatrical run) - You get hardcore fans yelling what is known as audience participation lines at the screen, combining them with the movie lines to make fun of the characters, plot or even real-life stuff like celebs and current events (note: these lines are usually very explicit!). In most cases you also get a shadow-cast of live actors performing in front of the screen, who may be very screen accurate or very creative (can also be explicit). If you feel brave enough you can also join the shadow casts and go on stage yourself.My recommendation - it's generally worth watching only in theaters with a shadow cast or at least hardcore fans for audience participation. The only reason to watch this at home is if you've never seen the movie, so when you do go to the theater you won't have to have your eyes on the screen the whole time (remember though that the movie is only 1% of what you get in the theater, so even if you find it boring still go and see it in the theater). The only other reason to watch this at home is if you're a shadow-cast member and want to practice your part.

Rocky Horror Picture Show honestly just seems like someone's strange porn fantasy. Though it is brilliantly executed. The characters, costumes, and songs carry the film; the plot is barely there, but this seems intentional. The oddness is entertaining for its entirety, and not used only for shock value.However, if one ignores the presence of well-known actors/actresses, and the catchy musical segments, it's difficult to see why this film is so popular in mainstream media. It's a good film, of course, but just plain odd. It was probably wildly controversial at the time of release; even some of the gags now are a bit risky. Even so, Rocky Horror deserves the praise it so often receives.
