I love this movie so much

Fantastic!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Are you a man who wears eyeliner and fishnet shirts? Do you like listening to Nightwish? Have you ever described yourself as polyamorous? Say no more. This is your movie.To the rest of us we will just have to sit back and not understand the deeper meanings and seamless continuity of this higher form of art. As a movie it cannot stand on its own and if you heard the music by itself a grimace and a quick change of the radio station would follow. When blended together the audience is met with a unreasonably painful experience. One that will leave the viewer uncomfortable and embarrassed for weeks.To those viewers who chose this movie while partaking of a Paris Hiltonathon: The going is tough, but you have worse ahead of you still.

Such a movie gives me hope - that sometimes between all the remakes, prequels, sequels, reboots and directors cuts and whatever bores we still get now and then a gem to watch. What the world needs are certainly more such fine imaginations like Repo! The Genetic Opera. Somehow the movie reminds me a little of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and that's for sure not the worst reference.Well, the genetic opera is filled with fine ideas, gore, slash and some good songs. It is an explosion of blood compared with all the blood- and lifeless productions which flood the screens of cinema and all the networks nowadays.If you like musicals and gore, this is made for loving you - and don't forget to watch The Devil's Carnival, also directed by Darren Lynn Bousman: a horror musical.

Hmm. I'm not sure what to think of REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA; as a film it gets an A+ for enthusiasm and effort, but in terms of quality it's something else entirely. This is a poorly shot (by SAW director Darren Lynn Bousman), over the top rock/horror/musical about a futuristic society where plastic surgery and the repossession of body organs are the focus of the story. It's a bit like REPO MEN but with songs instead of dialogue.REPO! was perhaps inspired by Tim Burton's SWEENEY TODD horror musical but it's nowhere near it in terms of consistency and quality. The best thing I can say about REPO! is that some of the songs are sung well, but in terms of lyrics and storyline, well, you can forget it. We get a bunch of unpleasant characters going around offing each other in various cheesily gory ways while they sing about it. The whole thing is shot in the dark on a cheap budget so it doesn't look too great.Cast-wise, it's a mixed bag. There are veteran actors like Paul Sorvino and Anthony Head who are really game and who you can't help but enjoy. But the lead actress, Alexa Vega, is acceptable at best and doesn't really have much in the way of presence despite being on screen for almost all of the running time. Bill Moseley's here too, but I had enough of his hammy schtick before long. Why they cast Paris Hilton I don't know, because a singer she isn't. Still, we do get a prominent supporting role for Sarah Brightman, and she sings everybody else off the screen. The film suffers big time whenever she's not around; a pity that she's mired in such a messy, juvenile production.

I was introduced to this film the fall of 2008 by one of my best friends. She watched it and automatically knew I would love it and she was right. From the first scene, I was intrigued. The characters, the plot, the music.... it all captured my heart. I found myself being able to relate to the character Shilo in some ways. I was hesitant when I learned that Paris Hilton was in the movie, but after seeing it I grew to like her just because of her role in the film. She did an amazing job. Anthony Stewart Head is an amazing actor and has a fantastic voice (those of you who watched Buffy should remember this from the musical episode). His character is just amazing... And Alexa Vega... I grew up watching her in Spy Kids and she has always been an excellent actress. She shines in this role. If you like musicals or gory horror films, you will love it. The songs were stuck in my head after the first time I watched it and honestly, they still are. The creators of this film are genius. If you watch this and decided you like it, I highly suggest you research their new movie The Devil's Carnival which will be released in just a few days. It even has a few of the same actors from Repo!
