Wow, what an amazing movie concept, especially during the hard economic times we a facing. Imagine a world where if a person is in need of an organ (liver, kidney, etc.) and instead of waiting months on a donor list, they could simply purchase one from a pharmaceutical company. The catch is, if you fall behind on your payments, the company sends a hired assassin to repossess the organ sold to you. That’s the premise of Lions Gate Films and Twisted Pictures latest DVD / Blu-Ray release, Repo! The Genetic Opera. Its one part opera and one part slasher film, set in the not-so-distant ...

I have one word for Repo! The Genetic Opera : Insane. Wait, I also have one more: Unwatchable. Darren Lynn Bousman, the man responsible for directing Saw II , III and IV , directs this perverse musical (based on the stage play by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich), with about as much flair and energy as a mechanical wind-up doll whose key is starting to stop. What should be an absolutely unhinged descent into the wickedly macabre is instead a surreal slide into idiocy and turgid ickiness. This Rocky Horror Picture Show wannabe is as much fun as getting stuck in a torrential downpour ... Read Full Story

A mix of goth, steampunk, rock-opera and gore, this contender for the next cult-classic is now available on DVD. There is a lot of goth cred... Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) plays the guilt-ridden Repo Man . The director Darren Lynn Bousman gets his cred from directing the Saw sequels. Sarah Brightman (origininated the role of Christine on Broadway for Phantom of the Opera) plays an ethereal opera singer Blind Mag in some stunning costumes. The film is based on a stage play and rolled from there. Masterpiece theater, this is not. This is a gory, horror-tinged story with catchy ... Read Full Story

~ Written by: Kristen Jones Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the show. “Repo! The Genetic Opera Soundtrack ” is not just a movie, it is an event and with the release of the soundtrack on September 30, 2008 it has become a worldwide phenomenon. First of all this is not your typical musical. Director Darren Lynn Bousman (best known for his work in the Saw films), along with writer’s Terrance Zdunich and Darren Smith have seen to that. The soundtrack mixes Goth/Industrial music with Opera and a hint of Punk Rock. This is not your parent’s opera. What makes this soundtrack truly fantastic is ... Read Full Story

This movie sucks. It's, more like a raging music video spectacle in the vein of "Rocky Horror." Nope, that's not a compliment. Adapted from a stage play, "Repo!" takes place in a not-so-distant future where organ failure has become a worldwide epidemic. GeneCo comes up with the medical technology to create new organs from scratch and installing them as easily as changing the tires on your car. In order to make the surgeries affordable, they offer financing, but if you can no longer afford to pay, a "repo man" will hunt you down and slice the organ out of you, leaving you to die ...
