Repo! The Genetic Opera

How can one describe this movie? Part Rocky Horror Picture Show, part Cinderella, part Frankenstein, part Blade Runner. No offense intended to any of the 4 aforementioned films. This goth opera tries to do a lot of things. Some of them are done very well.

If you don't like gore, don't watch this. If you don't like twisted tales or freaks, don't watch this. If you don't like a mixture of heavy metal and full orchestral score, don't watch this.

On the other hand if you can handle a story about a distant (or not) future where the only thing you have to borrow against are your body parts and when you can't make your payments the Repo Man comes carving, then you might like this. There are plot twists and turns. There are funny bits and good songs may get stuck in your head. There is sex and violence aplenty.

But, my fav part is when Paris Hilton's face falls off - literally!

Watch this movie with someone who is as tolerant as you or you may end up finishing alone.
