Repo! The Genetic Opera
Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman
Darren Lynn Bousman’s cult horror rock opera takes place in a futuristic world where a ruthless corporation called GeneCorp sends repo men to collect unpaid organ transplants. Sure, the repossession usually kills the delinquents, but hey, business is business! But when the ailing CEO of GeneCorp decides he wants to leave his empire to his ex’s daughter, instead of his three creepy kids, a deadly drama ensues in which all the long-buried secrets come to the surface. Bousman’s genre-busting oddity garnered a cult fanbase and comparisons to THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.
This cult horror rock opera is set in a future where repo men collect unpaid organ transplants.
Cast: Alexa Vega, Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton

Haters gonna hate, but this movie is a Godsend. Everything to love about the grotesque and gritty futuristic opera with an amazing motley of performers. If you liked Rocky Horror Picture Show, give this one a try.
Have and always will love this movie!
While I'll admit it is a product of its time, perhaps to much so, I enjoy this film. It is a mixed miasma of classical opera themes (both musically and in story structure), Andrew Lloyd Weber influences, and of course 1990"s Goth trappings.
I will never stop singing, this you can't make me.
This is a gem! Saw it back in 2008.
