Blissfully affianced and delightfully dull couple Janet (Susan Sarandon) and Brad (Barry Bostwick) are in for a shock when car trouble lands them in the eerie lair of mad scientist Dr Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) – just in time for him to reveal his greatest creation, paragon of masculinity, ultimate sex symbol…Rocky Horror. Chaos, seduction, hilarity, Meat Loaf, and glam rock ensues. Met with a violently negative reception when it hit screens in 1975, the film has spent the last four decades building up a fervent international cult following and is now the longest-running theatrical release of all time. The music made him do it! Next up is phantastical rock opera odyssey from Brian De Palma, pre-Carrie and Scarface fame: THE PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE!
