"More than a doc, it's a glitter-soaked hymn to queer joy, creative rebellion, and community survival. A must-see for longtime devotees and a perfect initiation for the uninitiated. Like the show itself, it promises you’ll never leave quite the same." —Stephanie Malone, Morbidly Beautiful
"An excellent love letter to one of the longest-running films in cinema history." —FilmThreat
From humble origins as a London fringe theater play to its meteoric rise, fall and resurrection as the biggest cult film of all time, this is the definitive story of the Rocky Horror Show. With intimate access to its creator Richard O'Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Lou Adler, the documentary explores what makes the play and film so singular: Its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs that took over popular culture. The cult phenomenon that sprung around it is unparalleled, and created not only the midnight screenings which continue to this day, but also a safe haven for those who ever felt different or marginalized.
