The Rocky Horror Picture Show
film — UK — 1975

3.5
A musical! Oh, luck, oh joy! Oh-bi-van-ke-no-bi! This musical is a parody, so they say. I`m not really sure parody for what, but a parody nevertheless. And it was made back in 1975. There`s this guy Brad Majors and his fiancee Janet Weiss that have to stay a night in a strange castle where weird things happen. Most notually - strange people happen. First, there`s the host Frank-N-Further a mad scientist who happens to be a bisexual transvestite from a galaxy named Transylvania. And he creates Rocky - a perfect loverboy for himself. Except for that Frank seduces both Janet and Brad - turning the first one into a sex-crazed person. And the action goes on. The plot is silly, of course, and it`s what you could have expected from a film like this. Sadly the music is also quite bad, and the singing - dull, like in most musicals. Frank himself is probably ok - his transvestite looks don`t really bother me, but this film may be funny as a historical document but a value as itself it doesn`t have.
