| | REELINSIDER.COM - ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975) |
 | | Included in this bevy of eccentrics is Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien), a hunchback manservant, Magenta (Patricia Quinn) and Columbia (Nell Campbell), a pair of maids, and the good Doctor's latest creation, Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood), a beefcake pin-up made flesh and blood in a burst of storming electricity. |
 | | Over the course of their evening trapped in the castle, Brad and Janet witness the murder of Eddie (Meat Loaf), Magenta's one-time lover, find themselves seduced by their transvestite host and otherwise feel confused by the play of rock music and terror that is their campy circumstance. |
 | | More telling than a dismissal, more significant than a critic's raised thumb, the film should be remembered as one of the best-loved pictures of all time, if not just from 1975 that also saw the release of the Oscar winner One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. |
