The fans are a world of thier own, and there are shadowcasts forming everywhere to spread this movie to new people. "turned this house into a tomb" became "turned this house into a zoo", "I can't read" and a line that provided the name of a song being mis-subtitled are a few exaples. If you turn to them trying to catch a part, you may well end up with a completely different message. The only real issues I have had with the movie is that sometimes it repeats itself (where one line of dialogue may have covered it) and that the sub titles are TERRIBLE. I really can't get too in-depth about most of the plot without giving it away. The plot is definately that of an opera: Love triangles, revenge, lies, murder, pampered heirs and a sheltered girl, all set to music. It's a goth rock opera set in the not-too-distant future. This definately fits in with all of those. I had originally seen this movie because of a recommendation on netflix, Let's just say I watch a lot of musicals and horror, with a bit of intrest in cult classics. Then again, I'm an odd person and I accept that this film is not for everyone. “Repo! The Genetic Opera” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian) for violence.I really liked this movie. A few catchy melodies, some clever lyrics or even a sense that the score wasn’t just one long, unmodulated track might have energized this singularly inert tale of a young girl (Alexa Vega) seeking answers to the nature of her peculiar genetic disease and the strange history of an Orwellian biotech firm named GeneCo. Granted, there is a measure of originality in conceiving a horror-inflected rock opera on scientific and political themes, and no film starring Paris Hilton as a marginalized heiress whose poorly grafted face slides clean off her skull is entirely without its guilty pleasures.īut when you live by the song, you die by the song. Darren Lynn Bousman, the director of several “Saw” sequels, has devised an excruciating new torture with “Repo! The Genetic Opera.” Set about 50 years hence, this high-concept, tone-deaf musical imagines a dystopian society afflicted by widespread organ failure, biological black markets and spontaneous outbreaks of painfully monotonous rock ’n’ roll.Īdapted from a theater production with lyrics and music by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich, “Repo!” feels destined to please a campy coterie of fans and no one else.
