About the Movie
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an independent musical comedy horror film directed by Jim Sharman and based on the 1973 stage musical The Rocky Horror Show.
Plot Summary: The story follows a conservative, newly engaged couple, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, who get a flat tire during a storm. Seeking help, they stumble upon the castle of the eccentric, cross-dressing alien scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter, where they are thrust into a night of bizarre events, self-discovery, and the unveiling of Frank's creation, the muscular "Rocky".
Release and Cult Status: The film initially flopped at the box office but gained a massive cult following through midnight screenings, which became a cultural phenomenon featuring audience participation, sing-alongs, and "shadow casts" that act out the film live. It is considered the longest-running theatrical release in film history.
Cast: The film stars Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Susan Sarandon as Janet Weiss, and Barry Bostwick as Brad Majors, many of whom were in the original stage production.
Genre: The movie is a parody and tribute to science fiction and horror B movies from the 1930s through the early 1960s, blending glam rock aesthetics with a gothic quality. |
