Campy cult classic, from the spoof horror musical, which
gathers popularity with each passing year.
A couple, whose car breaks down, take refuge from a storm
in an old, decripit mansion where a crazy scientist is trying to create the perfect man.
This landmark piece of gay & lesbian cinema has become
an iconic piece of filmmaking since it's 1975 release, mostly due to Tim Curry's breakthrough performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the transvestite transsexual from
Transylvania.
A unique piece of filmmaking which truly epitomises the
term "cult cinema".
