STRANGE JOURNEY: THE STORY OF ROCKY HORROR is a joyful and wild ride through the tale of the cultural juggernaut THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. From the film’s humble origins as a London fringe theatre play, director Linus O’Brien’s luminous documentary tracks its meteoric rise, fall, and resurrection to become the biggest cult film ever.
With intimate access to ROCKY HORROR’s creator, Richard O’Brien, and major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Lou Adler, the film explores ROCKY HORROR’s groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances, and the epic songs that took over popular culture.
The enduring cult phenomenon is unparalleled. It created not only the midnight screening revivals which continue to this day but became a safe haven for anyone who has ever felt different or marginalized. In our current political climate, ROCKY HORROR’s message of inclusion and self-expression resonates more than ever.
As Dr. Frank-N-Furter says, “Don’t dream it, be it.”
