Rating: 4.00 of Tim Curry's garter belts
Genre: Horror Comedy Musical
Starring: This Creepy English Guy in Makeup, MeatLoaf, Susan Sarandon, That Old Dude From Spin City, and a bunch of weird looking people.
Plot: OK, this is really screwed up here. Basically (and I am writing from memory here, as I haven't seen this for a year and am only writing it now because of overwhelming demand). But anyway, Brad and Janet, a young couple played by Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon have car trouble and have to go into this creepy old house for refuge. Now, when you see these kind of movies, there are always very obvious clues that this house is not a good place to be waiting out a storm. For example, in this movie, the door is answered by an undead-looking butler (Clue #1) and his Goth-fetish chick looking sidekick (Clue #2) who introduces them to the guy who owns the house, a transvestite (Clue #3) mad scientist (Clue #4) named Dr. Frank N. Furter (Clue #5, ok so maybe it's not all that scary, but still, how normal can a guy be if that's his name?) And speaking of Clue, you should probably watch that too. Tim Curry is great as the butler.
Well, Frank has lots of weirdos at his house. And at one point, Meat Loaf rides his motorcycle in, but his appearance is all too brief. But, while he's there, his singing is amazing. His part is the one that no one could sing. The guys told him to just mumble if he got stuck, but he sang the whole damn thing. I think he was the only guy to ever play that role who could do that. What can I say? The Loaf rules.
Dr. Furter's master plan, which he attended to in between musical numbers, was to create a man. Kind of like Frankenstein, but whereas Frankenstein created a freakish undead guy, Frank N Furter creates a blond guy in his underwear, who was most likely the inspiratipon for the He-Man cartoon.
Oddly enough, Susan Sarandon ends up having a sexual tension with Furter. And Brad gets jealous because "Dammit! Janet!" a guy doesn't want his wife to have an affair with a guy who looks like he just got back from the Judy Garland convention. But it all kind of works out in the end, paving the way for a sequel. Too bad the sequel sucks.
Viewing Advice: OK, if you're renting, you may wish to skip all that stuff like throwing toast and toilet paper at the screen and shooting water guns. You may, however, feel free to shout out "Buy an umbrella you cheap bitch!" when you see Janet walk through the rain, with little fear of property damage (unless your wife or girlfriend is there and is a feminist). And never ever watch that piece of shit sequel.
