Fun paean to the polymorphous perversity and sexual decadence of youth through paying tribute to Rock music (White Rock ‘n’ Roll) and the B-movie genres of science fiction and horror.
Tim CURRY is an effortless scene-stealer and provides much of the amusement on offer here in this highly-stylized musical romp.
Where this movie falls flat is in its lack of thematic coherence. It fails to fully explore the theme of the negative affects of Christian life-denial and death worship.
The characterization is also weak and only Susan SARANDON manages to inject some much-needed human warmth into her role of a prim-and-proper virgin who is not so prim-and-proper underneath - given the right encouragement.
