SYNOPSIS
Several
years on from the events of the original Rocky Horror Picture Show,
Brad and Janet Majors find their strained marriage put to the test on
popular Denton TV show Marriage Maze. Poor Brad is heavily sedated and
institutionalised, whilst Janet is given a radical makeover and primed
for stardom. But what are the real motivations behind the kooky DTV crew
and their enigmatic head-honcho, Farley Flavors?
WE LIKE IT BECAUSE
Featuring
a host of familiar Rocky Horror faces including Richard O’Brien and
Patricia Quinn as Dr Cosmo and Dr Nation, alongside Jessica Harper and
Cliff De Young as Janet and Brad, plus the likes of Barry Humphries and
Rik Mayall, this is a sexy, surreal satire that everyone should have on
repeat prescription. With a rocking, shocking score from Richard O’Brien
and Richard Hartley, including an irresistibly catchy title song, Shock
Treatment is the follow-up that’s more than the equal of its
predecessor.
Taking
potshots at the medical industry, tacky TV shows, and everything in
between, O’Brien’s film is bursting with energy and beautifully
designed, and, as his character says, “you’ll be pathetically crazy
about Shock Treatment - trust me, I’m a doctor!”
Presented
in two highly collectable limited edition Blu-ray sets - each featuring
one of the devious doctors from the film, Cosmo or Nation, on the
packaging - it goes without saying that this world debut release is a
must have for Rocky Horror fans. Altogether now, you need a bit of
ooooh, Shock Treatment!
