Why it’s HorroRated

Rocky Horror isn't for everyone and it knows it. That's the whole point. As a midnight movie experience it's completely unmatched, a communal ritual built around weirdness and joy that still lands the same way it did in 1975. The songs are legitimately great and the cast is all in. Nothing else like it.

Synopsis

Rocky Horror is a midnight movie experience that still holds the same way it did in 1975, which is not something most films from that era can claim. Frank-N-Furter is one of cinema's great hosts and the songs are legitimately good. Best experienced in a theater with a crowd who knows every word.
