Shock Treatment Review: The Forgotten Sequel to Rocky Horror!

What would you do if you were having problems in your marriage? Would work to find clearer ways to communicate, look for a couples counselor, consider Divorce? How about just tossing your spouse in the looney bin, and tossing out the key! This week we wrap up my Rocky Horror Trilogy of Reviews, by discussing Rocky Horror's Forgotten Follow-Up "Shock Treatment" (1981), Written and Directed by Jim Sharman, and Co-Written Richard O'Brien and Brian Thomson. Come Back for another visit in the Small Town of Denton, and reacquaint yourself with Brad and Janet Majors. After the their sexcapades with Dr. Frank-N-Furter, you'd think that the Majors would be weary of Rock Musical Types. Unfortunately though, Brad and Janet have never been a couple who pay attention to red flags. And following, a Burn Out, a Crash Out, a Glow Up, and a Stake-Out, the Majors find themselves yet again in the midst of a horny lunatics evil plan. Will Brad and Janet eventually be able to find their way back to mundane middle class life, or will they remain the simple possessions of Farley Flavors?
