That's not a brilliant way to get you hooked on this movie. The music is a combination of classical opera to Nine Inch Nails synth heavy rock metal and it's not that kind of musical that has many speaking parts, it is nearly pure musical and that includes a number that is tongue in cheek as well as brutal and gory. It's a mish mash of actors who can act, actors who cannot act and those who make you head straight head for IMDB because you are sure you've seen him in at least one episode of CSI (your not an unknown actor until that "bloated corpse" is on your list.) Also, its a Goth-rock horror musical with sci-fi elements a genre that is near impossible to say without tittering a little bit. On a credit roll, that list should not work on any level. It stars Giles, that girl from Spy Kids, the original Christine from Phantom Of The Opera, that Psycho from House Of 1000 Corpses, some guy from Goodfellas and Romeo + Juliet, a few unknowns and bloody Paris Hilton. Firstly, the cast and I'm going to make it easy for you. Lets start with exactly why this film shouldn't work.
(Featuring many Halloween and convention costumes) Starring Anthony Stewart Head, Alexa Vega and Paris Hilton, the film is a bloody murderous film with head banging catchy music that hooks you in. But Nathan has a second job he is the most terrifying Repo Man. In the midst of this messed up world is Shilo, a 17 year old housebound by her father and doctor, Nathan and a blood disease that she inherited by her dead mother. It's a very grim future with Graverobbers (and one very handsome one indeed) looking to score money out of back alley surgery and a drug harvested from corpses called Zydrate. But when people start having trouble with their payments, the for profit company send out a "repo man" who will repossess your organs right out of your body. With people dropping off like flies, a savior rises in the form of GeneCo, a bio-tech company that for a price gives people synthetic organs. Repo! The Genetic Opera is a goth-rock horror musical. Its the future and organ failures have become an epidemic that has swept the nation. (After you've watched this film, this picture will strangly turn you on) First on the list is Repo! The Genetic Opera and if I haven't harped on about it enough for the past week, I'm sure a wordy article about it will help. Like a crush on Jackie Earl Haley, I'll be reviewing some films that I know I shouldn't like but I can't help it. Welcome to a new feature that makes you feel a little bit normal about your DVD collection.
