Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) are a sweet innocent newly-engaged couple. Their car gets a flat in the rain. They stop at the mansion of transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) where they meet various weird characters like Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien) and Magenta (Patricia Quinn). The Doctor creates golden boy Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood).
There are obviously two ways to rate this movie. My first encounter with the movie is when some people put up a viewing party. I didn't know what they were talking about. It was only about 10 people but it was a lot of fun. Needless to say that most of it had nothing to do with the movie. I would give that experience a 9/10. I'm sure watching it in a midnight madness theater would be a 10/10. However that's not really the movie as much as it's the audience participation. The movie itself has some great songs. Its intended camp and craziness is quite compelling. However it wears out its welcome after about an hour. It gets tiresome as it becomes obvious that the film has nothing to offer other than being bizarre.
