I was excited to see this. Naively, I didn't think anyone could actually mess up an RHPS parody, but I was wrong! They took a cult classic with explicitly gay source material and decided to make it straighter. Even knowing nothing about film production, I could have scripted, cast, and produced this better in my sleep.
So let's start off with this productions most egregious sins:
-Despite THE primary plot point being the "corruption" of the virginal Brad & Janet in Frank's castle, this parody immediately starts off with them having sex.
-During Brad & Janet's individual bedroom scenes, Frank defiles Janet, but Brad is seduced by two random Transylvanian women.
-Instead of Frank creating & reveling in the beautiful hunk that is Rocky, the story is straight-washed again & instead we have the bland, skinny "Rocki".
-Every scene is either a straight scene or a lesbian scene. No gay scenes whatsoever.
It's so incredibly boring that their approach to parodying a gay cult classic was "lesbian scenes are a necessity but heaven forbid we see two men together".
The casting was also very lackluster:
-Casting Randy Spears as Riff-Raff was just wrong. He would've been SO much better as the Criminologist! Or Doctor Scott, rather than subjecting people to more Ron Jeremy (yuck!).
-Jessica Drake wasn't terrible as Janet, but she is a little too old.
-Mac Turner was very boring and forgettable as Frank, which is simply a crime.
The only "good" parts of this god-awful parody were:
-Alektra Blue as Columbia.
-The fact that all the Transylvanians were included in a scene together.
All in all; if you love The Rocky Horror Picture show for all it's quirkiness and want to see the hot gay tension brought to life: don't even bother with this parody! You won't get anything! Just go rewatch the original!
