Description of Repo! The Genetic Opera [Blu-ray]:
Likening Repo! The Genetic Opera to its predecessors, Little Shop of Horrors and Rocky Horror Picture Show, conveys this film’s high camp and operatic bursts of song, but does little to describe how absolutely bizarre Repo! is. Like Rocky Horror, Repo! was written for stage performance by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich, who stars as a Graverobber, dolled up in vampiric makeup to resemble Rocky Horror’s iconic tranny, Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Hiring newbie director, Darren Lynn Bousman, fresh out of film school to shoot this mutant movie, Smith and Zdunich clearly focused on writing comedy into extremely gruesome slasher scenes, which works with mixed results. Stills of comic strips contextualize each scene, telling the story of biotech corporation Geneco’s repossessions of organs that they implanted into various patients to save human lives during a long history of operations. Organs, here, were bought on credit, and as the economy nosedives, citizens of this a makeshift Gotham City cannot pay bills, and must forfeit their lives to repo men make a killing around town, literally. Heading this enterprise is CEO Rotti Largo (Paul Sorvino), who has two bickering sons, Luigi (Bill Moseley) and Pavi (Nivek Ogre), whose white facemask is third generation Phantom, borrowing directly from Winslow Leach’s in Brian De Palma’s Phantom of the Paradise. Central to the plot is head repo guy/slaughterer, Nathan Wallace (Anthony Head of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), who hides his career path to preserve his sexy teenage daughter, Shilo’s (Alexa Vega), innocence. As Shilo discovers her godmom, Blind Mag (Sarah Brightman), and the "Z"-addicted surgery slut, Amber Sweet (Paris Hilton), she embarks on adventures through an urban landscape constructed of metal gear, corpse piles, and S/M zombie girls, while dad straps people up in his torture chamber to take back body parts. Hmmmm. Since Repo! looks likes a Marilyn Manson video, its musical niche sensibility will only appeal to fans who like Goth and Industrial music. To anyone who doesn’t go for that look, it does impress for its sheer dedication to choreography and song. In the least, Repo! The Genetic Opera is an anomalous glimpse into visionary horror. --Trinie Dalton

Repo! The Genetic Opera [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Awesome!
2009-12-23 - This seems to be a "love it or hate it" sort of movie but I found it clever and refreshing. This story is a new take on the dystopian future that is so popular with the sci-fi/horror genre. With its stunning gothic visuals, catchy music and themes of love, deception, and revenge, this is an unforgettable cinematic experience. If you watch this movie and can't get past the violence, then you're not really watching. Beneath the surface is a beautifully tragic story that needs to be seen to be believed.

Region A, be warned
2009-12-08 - While a majority of Blu-Rays are region free, some aren't. This is one of them. For those in Region A, you're fine. The rest of us need extra software and that's if we watch it on a computer or a few specif players.

But apart from that, I still loved it. The Region not being listed as A on this site was the only thing that dropped it to 4/5.

Fresh, Original, and Scary
2009-12-03 - This is one of the best musicals I've seen so far. A perfect mix of classical and contemporary music along with great special effects and an amazing cast. The best of all is that the whole story is not too distant from reality.

Includes lots of blood, bad words, and some sexual inuendos.

TOP 1O EVER
2009-12-02 - Thiss movie is amazing everything about it is well done. The charactors,music,costumes,storyline,and art is superb. This is in my list of the top ten best musicals ever! Its based off a comic and mutated into a awesome goth opera!!

Amazing!
2009-11-23 - I love this movie! It's fantastic and it's written by the guy who plays the Graverobber! I think this movie is extremely well made and it's the best Paris Hilton has EVER looked! (Best she ever will unless they do a sequel)
