Format:DVD
When I first heard about Repo! The Genetic Opera, I was quite excited by the idea of it, a gore-filled rock-opera, what could go wrong. Then one by one I heard the songs and my anticipation grew until the point where I had to see the movie. Finally my friend brought the DVD and I sat down to watch it and I can safely say that I fell in love with the movie.
So let's break the movie down a little:
The Songs:
With music being the key element in this movie, the songs had to be good, and thankfully they are. There is a good mix of different genres which keeps things from going stale. All vocal performances are to a decent standard aswell and as far as I'm concerned, they were all good.
The Acting:
Everybody in this movie was brilliant, special mention going to Terrance Zdunich (His first feature movie and he stole the show completely), Anthony Head (His portrayal of a Jekyl and Hyde character was perfect), Alexa Vega (Finally breaking free from the image she created for herself in the Spy Kids movies and proving she is a legit actress) and shockingly enough, Paris Hilton! (Nobody else could have played Amber Sweet as far as I'm concerned, Paris rocked the house as Amber)
The Story:
The story to this movie is very interesting, the whole idea of a company that loans people organs and reposesses them if debts aren't paid is a scary concept because with the way that modern technology is moving forward, this could one day be a reality. All of the individual character's stories were handled well and I genuinely sympathised with them.
Overal::
The more I watch this movie, the more I love it. All I can do now is to show it to as many as people as possible and live in hope that one day the full 2hrs 30mins version will be released so we can get the FULL story to Repo!, not just the version present here.
And last but not least, I shall say...BUY THIS MOVIE NOW!

With a unique style and not what you expect from a typical horror film, this is deffinatley a 'love it or hate it' movie. It seems to be cross between 'Rocky Horror' and 'Saw' and oddly enough it works really well, after all 'Sweeney Todd' was a horror/musical and not many people would doubt how well it worked considering.
The plot of the film follows Shilo, locked away from the world due to a cruel illness, with the world outside a modern dystopia. Organ failure is rife and buying new organs seems the only way to overcome illness and death, however if you miss a payment then the Repo-Man comes to repossess the organ you brought. Maybe not the best plot ever but was 'Friday 13th' or 'Halloween' anymore deep?
The acting is simply amazing (including scarily enough Paris Hilton) and the music is brilliant. Zydrate Anatomy is perhaps the catchiest tune, the equivilant to 'Rocky Horror's 'Time Warp', but with a mix of music of all genres such as punk-rock with Seventeen and classical opera such as Chromaggia it proves to be very artistic and something for everyone. There's plenty of gore for the horror fanatics too, and the sets seem Tim Butron-esque in style.
It's deffinately a film worth watching and probably the best you'll see all year.

This is probably the most original movie you'll ever see - and it has a catchy soundtrack.
I came into this movie with no expectations at all but after the first five minutes I was in love... and then the first song started and I was left speechless. I can't say enough words of praise about this; the style is amazing, the story is original and the characters are interesting. Do yourself a favour and watch it!
As for the DVD itself I was happy to find two commentary tracks with tons of great insight to the struggles and fun times of get this movie made, the deleted scenes are an interesting addition especially the chicken dude, which is a great example of the immense amount of details this movie has (another being the ever-mysterious DJ Granny).
I feel I should mention the subtitles, which certainly are a fun installment (although one that won't do for the first viewing) as it replaces several key lyrics with complete rubbish. "I can't feel nothing at all" becomes "I'll keep you locked in it all" and my personal favourite: "Let the monster rise!" becoming "let the monster run!" makes me wonder if the ones who subbed even watched the movie. But it's all in good fun and let's you play a game of "spot the errors".
This is an experience you _cannot_ miss out on. Buy it, watch it, love it.

Fantastic Musical
The best way to describe "Repo" is that it is a mix of "Rocky Horror," "Sweeney Todd" and "Phantom of the Opera. Read more
