Happy Belated
Halloween!! (My apologies – I wanted to post this review yesterday, but I got a
little sidetracked with a family issue)
Halloween Movie #2
(Please click the links to read my Halloween Movie reviews from 2011, 2012,
2013, and 2014).
Synopsis: Um....what
the hell did I just watch?
Blurb From the DVD
Jacket: “Give yourself over to absolute pleasure...”
What Did I Learn?:
Susan Sarandon looked pretty good in her underwear, circa 1975. (Mind you,
that’s not even a remotely good enough reason to watch this film)
You Might Like This
Movie If: You'll watch any old horror-comedy-cult-classic.
Really?: Oh God,
where do I begin? Ok, here’s a big one: I had a hard time believing Brad and
Janet would meekly allow themselves to be separated, and then spend the night
in Frank-n-Furter’s castle after they witnessed him commit a cold-blooded
murder with a pickaxe.
Rating: I realize
that reviewing The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a bit of a
fool’s errand; this movie has legions of hard-core fans (an old friend from
high school recently called it “untouchable”), and you either love it, or hate
it with a fiery passion. As you may have already guessed, I’m in the latter
camp; in fact, I turned off my DVD player after about an hour. While I was
impressed by Tim Curry’s tour-de-force performance as the evil Frank-n-Furter
(which is why I’m giving RHPS three
stars), the movie itself is loud, creepy and obnoxious, and even the musical
numbers are terrible. Untouchable? I’d call it unwatchable. 3/10 stars.
