Is there anyone here who's heard of this other than myself?
Its on PPV right now, and the DVD is on sale. It started as a live musical, and they made the movie of it. But its more a cult kind of thing, than mainstream, so I don't know many people who know it (with the exception of the people who come to my house), and I kind of want to spread the word.
Repo! The Genetic Opera takes place a little later on this century, and its a time when, after an epidemic of organ failures, a company named Geneco, run by Rotti Largo, allows you to finance your organs (and some bones) so that you don't have to die because you can't afford them. After a while, it becomes the "in thing" to get surgurey done and make yourself "genetically perfect," but if you can't pay off your debt, or you fall behind on your payments, they may send a Repo man to take back those organs.
Its pretty brutal. Its dark and gothic, and almost the entire thing is sung. The repo scenes are brutal, and its a pretty dark but believable look at the path our planet is on right now. Also, its got such a varied cast, including Paul Sorvino(various works from 1970, on), Paris Hilton, Nivek Ogre(Skinny Puppy), Bill Moseley(The Devils Rejects), Anthony Stewart Head(Buffy The Vampire Slayer), and Sarah Brightman.
If you've seen it, awesome. If not, and you have a strong stomach, I really recomend it. If you don't mind all the singing, its a good, dark, brutal movie with a great plot, and great characters.
