  • WHAT THE HECK IS THIS CRUD?!

  • You guys are forgetting, there are 3 people from the original movie...don't forget Charles Gray, he was 'The Criminologist-an Expert' in the movie. He was the one who did the narration.

  • ... WHAT THE FREAK.... Looks Worse Then Rocky!!!! O-M-G But It's Soo Tempting To Watch It!

  • Oddly enough, this made me want sour candy.

  • You'll be pathetically crazy about Shock Treatment.

  • Nell is always hot:) (Omg Suki u so yuri......)

  • Why is Nell just so freaking hot in this movie?

  • Say ah. AAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!!

  • Very strange movie, even in comparison to Rocky Horror. I think it never had a chance because a) the Rocky cult was too strong and b) it didn't have Tim Curry. But it clearly is cynical in a dark way that RHPS isn't. I think O'Brien was jaded by the RHPS and he wanted to move on, but the fans wouldn't let him.

    Apropos of nothing... Jessica Harper...Wow.

  • I love this movie so much. Shame I can't find it anywhere!

  • @Futterwakkin i mean..the cast ..but its a different story

  • @Futterwakkin Its on youtube.

  • @chrisblum123 That's where I had to watch it because I couldn't find it anywhere.

  • What is this actually about? How is it related to rocky horror

  • @cashdown1000 Made my most of the same people and has two of the rocky horror characters.

  • @cashdown1000

    is not. is just Nelly ( Columbia) is here too

  • oh god.

  • 1:11 I could look at that all day.

  • @1rhpsfan Amen to that, brother. Fucking adorable.

  • I can understand why Susan didn't get the half a million she was asking for to reprise her role as Janet in this movie......................she wasn't THAT bankable in 1981...............actually, her movie career was still in its infancy. Maybe it was for the best, since she instead did the excellent Atlantic City (with Burt Lancaster) the same year.

  • I wish this film had just as much recognition as Rocky Horror Show, I would like to see a stage version for some reason... :)

  • Comment removed

  • Rocky Horror is my favorite musical and I watched Shock Treatment with no expectations and it was the right thing to do because I absolutely LOVED it! Apart from the names Brad ans Janet, it has nothing to do with 'Rocky' so get it out of your mind before watching it.

  • No Frank, no sequel. This is a bit of a disgrace to the first film.

  • @animationfan24601 FRANK DIED

    

  • @nighty127 yeah but they could have brought him back to life, or better yet, leave the first film alone and not even make a sequel! just my opinion! sometimes great movies are better left alone without continuing the story.

  • @animationfan24601 This isn't the sequel to RHPS, the sequel is called Revenge Of The Old Queen, and it wasn't made into a movie, so the sequel would have been what happened to Riff and Genta when they went to Transylvania. This is the 'equal' to RHPS because its just like the further adventures of Brad and Janet. It hasn't got any referance to Riff, Magenta, Rocky or any other people from RHPS except Brad and Janet. Although some people say that Cosmo and Nation are Riff and Genta in disguise.

  • @siggie999 Id say Cosmo and Nation are Riff and Magenta in diguise! It sucks they didn't make Revenge of the Old Queen into a movie... Although, I hate what happens to Magenta in it... :(

  • @siggie999 Id say Cosmo and Nation are Riff and Magenta in diguise! It sucks they didn't make Revenge of the Old Queen into a movie... Although, I hate what happens to Magenta in it... :(

  • @THERiffRandell I agree. I love shock treatment and think it's amazing but the script for ROTOQ looks much better, and your right about magenta, shes my second fave after Riffy lol :)

  • @siggie999 But if they did make it into a movie, I think it would be funny at the end, if Magenta wakes up in the coffin while Riff is "talking" to her, and she could be all pissed off at him, and be like, "RIFF!!! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME, RIFF??!! I LOVED YOU!!!" XD

  • @THERiffRandell lol XD i really wish that movie had been made :)

  • @siggie999 Yeah, I think it wouldnt be half bad. And maybe just add a few other parts, like what I just said about finding out Magenta really wasn't dead! XD

  • @siggie999

    your half right, Its a spin-off

    but some argue its like how La Casa 3 is a sequel Evil Dead 2 but it isn't

    or like how Terminator 2: Shocking Death is a sequel to Terminator but it was made before the real sequel

    or how Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws isn't a sequel to Jaws

  • @siggie999 I thought that RHPS was originally planned as a trilogy, with RHPS, RHPS Part Two: Rocky Horror Shows His Heels, and lastly RHPS Part Three: Revenge of the Old Queen. Rocky horror shows his heels was about the resurrection of Frank, Janet having a baby, Brad, Dr. Scott, and Rocky going full-out gay, and Denton being turned into a transylvanian-like place. Of course, O'Brien announced he was working on a new play called "Rocky Horror: The Second Cumming",which combine two and three.

  • @siggie999 Nurse Ansalong is actualy Little Nell who played Columbia

  • @siggie999 it is a sequel it says it on the OFFICAL RHPS website! mkay thankss

  • @shineybrightlights Yeah the only reason its on there is because everyone assumes its a sequel. But if you watch the interview with patricia quinn then she actually says its an equel

  • @siggie999 neh

  • @animationfan24601 the seqal is supposed to be called Rocky Horror Shows His Heels wastheoriginal script of a sequel to Rocky Horror written by O'Brien. It focused on resurrection of FrankFurter, and Janet was pregnant with either Frank-N-Furter's, Rocky's, or Brad's child. It was never filmed because the director Jim Sherman didn't want to do the same movietwice dueto the unavailability of some of the cast members. Because of this, O'Brien shifted gears and started workingon ShockTreatment

  • @animationfan24601 Frank's the best, without him the fil is not enough sexy and hot as the rocky horror :(

  • @ladyneurotica i completely agree! the sequel doesnt have frank's unique energy and voice he brought to the first one :(

  • If they were to make Revenge of the Red Queen I would be so thrilled! But it wouldn't really fit in with these two; they're filmed differently because of the era they were filmed in. I think if they tried, they'd use too much animation rather than real characters and such today. But at least you can read the script online.

  • 5 people need a bit of shock treatment!!

  • I still don't understand what its about...

  • technically, its a spin off of the rocky horror picture show, since it concerns the characters of janet and brad only

  • I was suprised: This is actually a really great movie!

  • Is that the girl from Phantom of Paradise?

  • Comment removed

  • @twoodgurl31 Yeah, it's Jessica Harper. She's in this, Phantom Of the Paradise, and Suspiria. I think she's in some other stuff too, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

  • Despite what I've heard people say about it compared to Rocky, I love Richard's voice and the song in this trailer, so I'm finally gonna watch. :-)

  • I agree the songs in this one are awesome! And about a stage production too (-- who knows? Maybe with the "shocking" success of the stage version of Xanadu not too long ago it might even happen one of these days.)

  • richard o'brien said this was a equal to rocky horror not the sequel.

  • i scared the shit out of my gf when i played the start at 1 am lol it was so funny

  • The lighting and the cinema style remind me of the movie "Hell Raiser". I wonder if some of the same crew were involved?

  • When I first saw this trailer I thought the film was going to be disturbing, but actually its pretty funny i wont lie xD

  • This movie put me in a state of depression. And I'm 99.9% sure that the person playing Janet was a dude.

  • i cant believe that Sarah Sarandon wanted half a million to play Janet again in this film. thats why we have a funky looking janet... thanks sarah.. greedy bitch.

  • @xxantoniewicz Uhm, you mean Susan Sarandon?? lol

  • @Zeli2tear yeh lol, and she DID want half a million to play janet again... i couldnt believe that... :'(

  • @xxantoniewicz Susan Sarandon

  • This song is so addictive, and to make things even BETTER, there are shades of Rocky Horror that show throughout!

    So basically this = happiness

  • This was originally to be a sequel to Rocky Horror, but they were unable to secure many in the original cast, so it was re-written as a stand alone film.

    "The original script was titled Rocky Horror Shows His Heels and began as a direct sequel, until the idea was changed because of the unavailability of some of the original cast. The story was changed as well as the title, becoming first The Brad and Janet Show and finally Shock Treatment."

    - Wikipedia

  • At first I hated this movie but over time I grew to like a few of the songs. Even right now I have the guitar riff from Lluaby stuck in my head lol.

  • I've been looking everywhere for this, I can't find it! O< I love it though...but had to watch it on Youtube.

  • I need to find this movie

  • this is AWFUL!!! ... but i do love it for the music :D

  • Cosmo: "YOU NEED A BIT OF!"

    Brad: "Uhm Riff Raff?"

    Cosmo: "OOOO SHOCK TREATMENT!"

  • I could listen at that chorus for EVER

  • ...Don't Brad and Janet recognize them from Rocky Horror? Heh.

  • In Shock Treatment, if you look closely at the DTV studio audience, you might recognize a bunch of them as having been Frank-N-Furter's party guests in Rocky Horror Picture Show.  In addition to the cast pointed out by Dracula9AntiChapel, Imogene Claire was also in both RHPS as a Transylvanian & Shock Treatment as the wardrobe lady along with Jeremy Newson who plays Ralph Hapshatt. Newson is the only actor to play the same character in both films.

  • ...it looks awful...

  • @thetruechrisromero

    It's actually fantastic film. Songs are catchy as hell, the story is weird (in a good way), acting is solid and the visuals are so beautiful. That's just my opinion of course, but I honestly love this film.

  • @Assiman I saw the movie after I saw the trailer, and I'm now in love with it. I guess I felt that it looked awful because I didn't quite understand it.

  • Oh, Richard O'Brien. You were right. I saw this movie two days ago and I haven't been able to get it out of my head.

  • 1:46

    is that the Criminologist I see there? :P

  • @Tamamasensei Yes :3

  • @Tamamasensei Yeah, and Riff Raff's the bald doctor, Magenta's the woman with the frizzy hair, and Columbia's the crazy one climbing on the cage.

  • @Dracula9AntiChapel but wasnt columbia killed by Riff-Raff at the end of RHPS right before he kills Frank-N-Furter???

  • @mike45011 I meant that the actors are the same.

    Cosmo McKinley - Richard O' Brian

    Nation McKinley - Patricia Quinn

    Judge Oliver Wright - Charles Gray(Criminologist)

    Nurse Ansalong - "Little" Nell Campbell

  • the best songs in this movie are lullaby,little black dress,shock treatment and look what i did to my id.

  • I hate that brad and janet aren't the orignal actors, that ruins it! :(

  • @TheSweetMuffinKitty Susan Sarandon is kind of embarrased of Rocky Horror.

  • @shaneandstuff Why? It's the largest grossing film she's ever been in during her meager film career.

  • @boardskins I'm guessing because of the reputation the film has.

  • @shaneandstuff What reputation? As the highest grossing most critically accepted cult film ever made?

  • aww rich and pat are back too

  • Rocky Horror should never have a sequel. The original was brilliant enough. And even though this movie looks cute, it's not the same as Rocky Horror. You can not replace the original Janet and Brad.

  • @TheTeeShirtShow This isn't necessarily a "sequel" to Rocky Horror. At least, you don't have to look at it that way. The two storylines are completely unrelated, and if you wish, you can imagine that the new couple isn't Brad and Janet at all, but some other couple. This is a very good film, as long as you're not expecting it to be anywhere similar to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

  • @Nutelzilla yeah i know it's not a sequel. But you can't use Brad and Janet. They're a classic couple.

  • Would have been nice if Sarah Saradon and Barry Botswick could have returned. Oh well.

  • what just a bad movie, just a flat out bad movie

  • Comment removed

  • @xxakumaroxxryu yeah , but it's NEVER gonna happen , atleast not with the original RHPS cast. Though scripts are online if your willing to look for them.

  • Barry Bostwick was going to come back as Brad...but he was already doing another film.

  • How come they never asked the guy who played Brad in the first one to come back?

  • I'm extremely impressed by the scene at 2:06 - 2:16.

  • this looks either really bad or realy good

  • LOL Barry Humphries (aka Dame Edna) at 0:55.

  • People, you're going about this the wrong way. Don't compare it to RHPS, treat it as a seperate movie, with a few if the same characters.

  • Richard O' Brien should have just taken out the names brad and janet, and placed them in a different town and this movie probably would have been fine on it's own. The whole idea of Brad and Janet having the whole movie to them selves and taking out the other main characters doesn't make it seem like a sequel. It's also upsetting that Brad and Janet aren't even the same actors from the original. ;l

  • I've played Farley in a Shadow Cast before; this brought back some pleasant memories, thanks for posting it. :-D

  • Patricia Quinn is so gorgeous! But then, she always is! Thanks for posting this! It's never gotten the kudos it deserves.

  • Watt is the 1st thing Richard O'Brien says?

  • All I can say is.... 80's.

  • el doctor es richard o brien¿¿¿

  • si es él, ademas de eso patricia quinn y nell campbell actuan en esta pelicula tambien, pero con diferentes personajes

  • My Threee hottest Nurses On Screen Are....

    3. Emanuele Beart "Date With An Angel'

    2. Salma Hayek x 5 "Across The Universe" "Happiness Is A Warm Gun"

    1. Little Nell "Shock Treatment"

  • @1rhpsfan agreed , Rik actually shared the bed with Nell in the Lullaby song :P .....lucky bastard

  • I was so disappointed in this film! I'm a massive fan of the RHPS and coundn't wait to see this but it was a massive let down. The songs aren't as catchy and the actors playing Brad and Janet are really miscast. The best part of this film is the song Shock Treatment and thats shown in the trailer!

  • they have everyone else though..... exept tim curry, unless i missed him

  • this movie was the result if several rewrites and a rushed effort.. I hated it when it came out in the theaters and expected more. Rocky started on a stage and developed. this was thrown together. The music was awful and for it's time inthe 80's it was boring and flat.

  • ME 2! Isn't farley Flavors just soooooooooo hot!!!! XD

  • LUV THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!!

  • They couldn't get Susan Sarandon because she wanted too much money for the project. Barry Bostwick couldn't return because he was busy working on another project. Fun fact: Cliff DeYoung, who played Brad in ST, was the first choice for Brad in RHPS, but was busy on another project at the time.

    Both RHPS and ST are awesome in their own ways.

  • Um---can someone tell me why they got actors that don't look anything like Barry Bostwick or Susan Saradon?

  • The Rocky Horror Show is the best musical ever!!!!

    The Shock Treatment is the Best Musical film of the 80s!

  • The movie was kinda confusing but I just LOVE some of the songs from it c:

  • the rocky horror picture show is way better then shock treatment

  • I fink ther equally as good!

  • and one more thing (limited comment space LOL)

    It makes Rocky Horror more fun to watch , but not in a way that it makes you wish you were watching it.

  • It's not a sequel to Rocky Horror. The real sequel is Revenge of the Old Queen , but it's probaly not gonna be filmed.

    Shock Treatment is another story in the saga of Brad Majors and Janet Weiss.

    The only reason it's called a sequel to Rocky Horror is because whoever was responisble thought it could pull in a bigger audience.

    It's actually not that bad , sure its in NO FUCKING WAY as fun and good as rocky horror , but it doesnt need to be.

    (people will allways prefer Rocky Horror , duh)

  • @PunkRocker666Metal erm i think u find it is a sequel to rocky horror picture show it even says so on the net if u look the film shock treatment is fucking shite anyways!

  • @PunkRocker666Metal then there's also the fact that this film take splace directly after rocky horror and not in this movie was made after rocky horror but the events of rocky horror are fucking mentioned in this movie, which is why brad and janet ar ein the predicament they're in in this movie. he only reason obrien doesnt want people calling this a sequel is cus it sucked ass.

  • @PunkRocker666Metal Late Night "DOUBLE FEATURE" picture show.

    This would be the second feature then... yes?

  • @PunkRocker666Metal I heard (unconfirmed) that A new sequel (one to be actually filmed) is being written by o'brien, I guess you could call it a rewrite of Old Queen.

  • @PunkRocker666Metal i think if they made a remake of rocky horror show they make sock treament and revenge of old qween

  • @deadpool514 Fuck that. They tried to remake it in 2009 but Rocky fans where pissed and so many petitions where made and so many people where against it that they stopped it.

  • @ThomasMFilms I think if they try to remake it, they hould use the same storyline and use most of the original characters. But the originals will always be best.

  • @PunkRocker666Metal In my opinion, its better then Rocky Horror.

  • @PunkRocker666Metal As Pat Quinn said, " It's not the prequel, it's not the sequel, it's the equal."

  • yes revenge of the old queen would have been sooo much better !!

  • Highly underated film - the songs are brilliant, would so love to see a stage production of it

  • revenge of the old queen wouldve been better....google it

  • haha, sure, if they do the movie

  • is it anything like the Rocky Horroe?? Is it worth watching or buying??

  • It isn't very much like Rocky Horror, but it is another work of Richard O'Brien's. Most people go into it expecting a sequel to RHPS and end up disappointed that it is not that, so keep in mind it is not a sequel (despite Brad and Janet being recurring characters.)

    That being said, you shouldn't be disappointed if you watch it. It's certainly a better movie than many things out there, IMO. I'd suggest rent or download first, not everyone loves it.

  • Thanks!!!

  • It's nowhere near as good as RHPS!!! The musics alright though =)

  • Nowhere near as good, but still fun in it's own right.

  • As a RH fan, I was quite disappointed in ST as I was expecting a sequel. When you watch it again and look at it as a film in its own right rather than a sequel, you realise it's pretty damn good.

    Besides, I'm not sure I'd want a proper sequel. I dont see how it could happen anyway! Magenta and Riff went back to Transylvania and everyone else was dead!

  • I was just wondering the same thing. Wiki calls it a "follow up" which I guess means it's a creative follow up to a previous work and not a second part of a story. I guess...

  • Marketing purposes I bet.

  • Love it!

  • The tower of wisdom that is Dr. McKinnley.

  • Its not

    Richard said

    "Not a prequel not a sequel but an equal"

    And it has Brad And Janet

    and Denton

    Which is the point.

  • Richard O' Brien states it's an "...equal."

  • it follows brad and janet life after they get married

  • Defiently a weird one but i still love it lol

  • *lol* "Say ahh. AAHHHH! Ooh, that's very good" that cracks me up. :)

  • Alot of the original cast return as different charecters. THe orignal premise for the movie is far different than what was actually shot. Initially it was supposed to be a sequel to Rocky horror, taking place immediately after the original, then for whatever reason the story  sway in a new direction focusing on the marital problems of Brad and Janet and the community of Denton which has been absorbed into commericalism by Brads twin brother. Go figure.

  • You need a bit of OOOOHHH................. Shock Treatment! To get you jumpin' like a real live wire!

  • so this is the sequel ?

    does it have the same characters ?

  • only Brad and Janet, but they aren't even played by the same people.

  • Brad and Janet return, portrayed by different actors.

    A handful of the Rocky players are in shocktreatment. All portaying new characters.

    It's a fun film with some great songs but the pacing is a bit slow towards the middle. Imo a song or two should have been cut to spead up the story.

  • Oh wait! Ralph and Betty Hapschatt return aswell.

  • and betty monroe (hapshatt) and ralph

  • I think this movie would have been succefule on its own if it wasnt dubbed "the rocky horror show sequal"

  • This movie is so weird its great!

  • i wish there was a theater showing it where i live

  • trust me i'm a doctor... wahahahahahhahaaaaaheehoo

  • you need a bit of OOOH shock treatment!

  • i found you chaz

  • hehe XD i need to show u this film faye

  • to bad they didn't find a part for tim curry, or a part he would like if they did ask him

  • watching this trailer makes me want to run to FYE or movie stop and find a copy

  • just wondering, does this number show up in the movie?

  • never mind. I found it out by myself...

  • rik mayall is in it :D
