Synopsis

After getting a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, newly engaged couple Brad and Janet encounter the eerie mansion of the flamboyant, seductive Dr Frank-N-Furter and a variety of eccentric characters. Through elaborate dance and rock music, the mad scientist unveils his latest creation: a perfect, muscular man.

The Fear Score take

This is horror stripped of its capacity to wound, then rebuilt as celebration. The gothic mansion, the mad scientist, the lightning and the laboratory all arrive intact, but the dread dissolves into euphoria the moment the music starts. What unsettles here is not fright but surrender to the strange and the transgressive.
