Movie Reviews of Shock Treatment (1981)
Movie Review: Excellent DVD package for Shock Treatment fans
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of Shock Treatment, this DVD is the one you want. It has a few documentaries full of information and a wonderful commentary track as well. The color and over all image is fantastic, especially for those of us used to the old VHS release. Also, the sound quality is excellent.
A reviewer here said that the commentary should have been "left to professionals". This is a mean thing to say, especially considering that Madman Mike IS a professional in the world of Rocky Horror and Shock Treatment. Mike did a FABULOUS job. So did Bill Brennon for that matter. They give you tons of behind the scenes trivia and insight on the meaning of the movie and its making. I've heard the commentary on many, many DVDs and I've heard horrible ones that were done by directors, actors and other production people. In fact, just listen to the commentary done by Kiara Knightly on one of the Pirates of the Caribbean DVDs and you will think Madman Mike and Bill Brennon are totally professional by comparison.
Shock Treatment is very obscure in the scheme of things but it does have some really die hard fans and a "cult within a cult" following with Rocky Horror fans. Shock Treatment was WAY ahead of its time on many levels, especially predicting the direction that reality TV would go. There's not much reality in reality TV, and this movie sort of knew that before it happened.
This movie isn't for everyone. But for fans, its a long awaited and fantastic presentation and I can't recommend this DVD enough.
