Much prefer the 2010 Hollywood version.

"Give me torture porn any day." - Ed Gonzalez

a few songs that are memorable, for at least a few weeeks, otherwise, gouge your eyes out with a spoon. Avoid this premature ejaculation at all costs!

A failed experiment, but amazing this got made given what appears 2 be fairly pricey production-design, as well as a target audience that appears2 b composed entirely of Goth teens (into opera!) If this is anything2 go by it's pretty easy to see y opera has gone out of favor. Instead of clever lyrics or actual songs the narrative is almost entirely driven by characters who "sing" EVERY single line of banal, expository dialogue while solidly indifferent backing instrumentation plays behind them

Interesting concept, horrible execution.

Over the top and totally gory and cheesy in a gothfest kinda way, but having Anthony Head go from sweet to monster and back again (oh and that marvelous singing voice!!) is a delicious treat.

"Regardless of me not being a fan of musicals and rock operas, I find it hard to believe others would enjoy this. Despite a good Anthony Head and a scene that shows Paris Hilton being booed off stage after her face falls off, this movie is painful and all the music is instantly forgettable. It's like the interludes in an opera where the story is developed and you wait for the next grand set-piece and solo, only it never arrives."

Futuristic rock opera (starring Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman and... Paris Hilton!?) that tries way too hard to be a Rocky Horror-meets-Saw cult classic. Looks good if you're into the Tim Burton thing, and it's hard not to admire the sheer audacity of it, but suffers from lack of humour and crap songs.

Very different.

This is definitely something different, and I wasn't really sure I liked it at first, but I did enjoy watching this. Alexa Vega was amazing as Shilo and has a great singing voice. There is a nice blend of Horror & Musical, similar to Sweeney Todd, and while it's not as good as that was I still think anyone who enjoyed it would love this one too. It's not for everyone though, and I can see a lot of people getting very confused by it all, but for the record I liked it and would still recommend it.

There is no better way to portray youthful angst and rebellion than through Ashley Simpson-esque pop punk ballads.

CULT!

Not bad as an experience, but as a film, it certainly isn't good.

The concept and the visuals are great. Although the music isn't all good, it's better than in your average musical. Even Paris Hilton is tolerable and that's a very rare feat.

Great visuals/story are cancelled out by akward lyrics in this futuristic goth-rock musical.

"...if you can dig it, join the GraveRobber and his fiends on the big screen."

Just splendid eyecandy. Unfortunately the story did not carry the plot too far. And shame that Tarja Turunen, the ex-lead singer of Nightwish, was not included. Gets very close to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I think I need to give this movie another go. I enjoyed it enough the first time, but I think I'll love it if I watch it again. I did get the soundtrack though, and I'm seriously loving that. Great visuals throughout the movie (what a gorefest too) and a very original plot.

Managed to watch it for 30 minutes before the shitty music and acting started to annoy me too much. It might get better in the end but I'll never know.

Desperately tries to be the next Rocky Horror Picture Show but fails on pretty much every level. The acting is terrible, the music sucks and it looks cheap. But Paris Hilton literally losing her face is nice.

Interesting concept - poor execution. Digital video with saturated color palette might be stylish, but doesn't look that great. Plot is simple, and some of the songs laughably bad. Paris Hilton once again acts herself, i think, but her performance in sex tape was much better, in my opinion.

"For all its glitches and oddities, Repo! impressed me on sheer force of strangeness, originality, and audacity."

What was that that Maynard says in that one song? Oh, oh yeah: "Pay no mind to the rabble." People who love musicals are going to love Repo and its satirical nature. The dark and twisted world of the Zydrate-addled, surgically transformed "future" is just as addictive to those who watch it with a mind for musicals as the cosmetic surgery is to those who walk the streets in REPO! The Genetic Opera. I loved it.

"...fans of "Mamma Mia!" won't be too thrilled"

Absolutely lovely. I like almost all musicals because of my auditory disposition, and Repo was no exception. I thought it was a very neat idea to combine horror and musical, and making use of music not often heard in film. Overall it is a very entertaining film one should not approach too seriously.

Interesting story, I probably would have rather seen this done without the opera part. I will say that the songs were very creative since almost every line was sung in the movie.

Man, I don't know how to feel about this movie. On the one hand, it had some fantastic numbers, and I love Head's and Vega's, as well as a few other performances, but on the other hand, it had some horrible performances, was overly violent at parts, and some of the lyrics were just flat-out lame. Still, worth a watch or two, maybe even an own if you don't mind some gruesome violence.

Funny and lovely with good songs.

Campy as hell, but the musical numbers were catchy and rarely seemed forced. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it hadn't flatlined near the end.

I wanted to like this movie, but it wouldn't let me. It should be given credit for it's concept, which is bold and clear, but it's execution is sloppy. The music is questionable, and the singing mediocre, with weak voices dominating. There are some memorable moments, in particular a duet towards the end featuring a charming Alexa Vega and Anthony Head, but overall the performances are weak. The costumes also suffer from a lack of direction, and Paris Hilton is as annoying as one expects.

Tries too hard and has thus acquired a following of people who try too hard.

Any film where Paris Hilton's face falls off is a worthy watch

I hate musicals and Paris Hilton, and this film has both. Why did I bother seeing it? Because the plot is original, and the music is quite heavy and Metal/Industrial laden. Repo! is a futuristic story about a company who repossesses organs with the help of Repo men, and what happens to one of them. The cast is fantastic, and who knew some of them could sing so well? There was enough gore to keep the horror fan in me happy and enough heavy music to bang my head to. Rent or buy this if you can.

It's nice. Some of the songs are very creative while others just seem to fall into a loop after a while. The plot is pretty solid and good enough but the film is not very rewarding. It doesn't really leave you with a finished feeling. For the REAL metal/rock fans this will be a disapointment as there is no heavy rock in it. amusing rocktunes and some metalriffs are to be found though. The horror port and gore of this film is nothing special, but the lack of that actually makes the movie better.

The art direction on this movie was really, really interesting; unfortunately the plot and music were completely dull, and not even redeeming performances from Head and Sorvino could save it. Worth watching for the visuals, but not for much else.

this movie is the worst musical I have seen. But some parts were so bad they made me laugh.

While it's easy to see the potential in such a movie, this film is just not all the way there. It falls so short, I'd call it downright bad. Its games of format are won by no one and after watching the film, I can't recall the tune to a single song. There are some sonically pleasing harmonies and some funny bits of imagery but for the most part, it's a bunch of fake clever glop with too much color correction and a contrived story.

If ever a film appeared to be written exclusively for the Hot Topic crowd, this is it. An absolutely dreadful experience (at least for the 15 minutes I was able to hang in there) that is best viewed by no one.

Bonus points for a creative idea and even more creative delivery, but the dialog and musical score is so awful that it can't be ignored. Rocky Horror without the skill.

Picks up towards the end, but the build up is soooo disjointed and leaves dangling threads. The songs are badly written and repetitive for the most part. this COULD have been good, a good idea in smart hands is under this mess, but it never got there. Ironically it also tries too hard to be cool. And the actors playing the sons should probably never work again. At least until they've taken some lessons in acting

Good, but some of the music and voices could have been better. Brightman was a great touch as Mag.

Very good visuals but the awesome and unmelodic music destroys everything. too bad, the concept failed.
