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

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)

I saw previews for this on a few DVD's & the song that was played on the preview was very catchy, so I decided to buy a copy just to watch once or twice. The whole movie is so awesome, I watch it several times a week & have memorized all the songs (and I own the soundtrack so I can sing along in my car). But, you have to remember that it is a rock opera, and if you don't like musicals/rock operas, you might not like it. This is my new favorite movie of all time!

I've seen better, but it wasn't a "horrible" movie . Paris is amazing, I adore her. I agree, people took this movie way to seriously. it's a movie to have fun with, it doesn't need an Oscar but it's a good movie just to lay down, relax and enjoy it. I bought in on DVD and we all liked it but we weren't disappointed because we knew it was a movie to have fun with. it's a hilarious movie, but talks a lot about sex. Paris looks amazing with brunette hair, and her acting was AMAZING. Overall, good movie, ... Read More

What else can be said? My mind recoils from this artless disease of a movie. It should come with a free stick for gagging yourself. Even better a blindfold and earplugs. Save yourself the pain and avoid.

I wanted this movie very much and was very happy to get it at a little cheaper than the listing price on Amazom. The sound quality is not always that great, but the movies indomitable will can not be denied. It will draw you in and make you part of it. And the most powerful feature of the movie is it's believability. Could we be like this is 50 years or so?
