“The sun never sets on those who ride into it.” The little known sequel to Rocky Horror, Shock Treatment is a bit of an acquired taste but it has its own sort of charm. When Brad and Janet Majors’ marriage hits a rough patch they go on a game show where Brad gets committed to an asylum and Janet gets swept up by the glitz and glamour of television. Most of Rocky Horror’s main cast returns, including Richard O’Brien, Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell, and Charles Gray, but they play different characters. Jessica Harper takes on the role of Janet, and really shines; bringing a lot of charisma to the part. And, O’Brien’s songs are energetic and quite catchy; featuring a variety of musical styles. However, the story is rather weak and the pacing is too fast. Also, the satire about television culture is overly broad and unfocused. Yet despite its problems, there’s plenty of fun to be had with Shock Treatment.

Absolutely terrible, everything was rewritten from a Rocky Horror sequel, so the songs doesn'#39;t make sense with the (weak) plot. Only Bitchin'#39; in the Kitchen and Shock Treatment songs are somewhat enjoyable.

The concept is actually kinda ahead of its time. But as an '#34;equal'#34; to Rocky Horror it pales in comparison. Some of the songs are kinda catchy though. And Jessica Parker Harper singing is always a bonus...

Me and musical just don'#39;t mix. Just not a fan of that type of music and the whole pace makes me spin. I won'#39;t give it a bad score because that would be unfair. I'#39;m sure musical fans will appreciate it more then I did. Some of the songs were catchy.
