Plot: A worldwide epidemic encourages a biotech company to launch an organ-financing program similar in nature to a standard car loan. The repossession clause is a killer, however.

Saw veteran Darren Lynn Bousman finally proves himself to be a major creative talent with this long-awaited industrial rock opera-- and the result is a frantically entertaining musical like you've never really seen before.
Once the opening cartoon kicks in and is quickly followed by an impressive CGI shot of a nightmarish futuristic city, you already know Repo! is bound to obtain a cult status. Indeed, like most musicals, it has a narrative that kind of goes around in circle until the third act but is rarely boring nonetheless. The rich, inspired and very trashy set design does the very best it can to hide the rather low budget with jaw-dropping results, particularly during the incredible climactic opera scene. The lighting also has to be mentionned : whether it's sparkling blue, blood red or powdery yellow, every scene is lit just the right way to generate a twisted atmosphere that inspires sympathy, doubt or repulsion.
The grotesquely entertaining characters are defended by strong pipes-- that also includes Mrs. Hilton, in a positively surprising turn as surgery-addicted vixen Amber Sweet. Unlike the Saw films, where most of the cast didn't have a chance to truly shine, everyone here pretty much gets their own spotlight, resulting in memorable on-screen performances by Skinny Puppy's Ogre, Terrance Zdunich, Sarah Brightman, Bill Moseley, Anthony Head and especially Alexa Vega, not counting all the other supporting roles.
It's been a long road with the horror sequels for Bousman, a mostly downhill one, but this project is sure to lift his name high above. Also, by ditching the nauseating quick-cut editing that was used to the bone in his ealier work, the man and his kick-ass crew have shown the horror spectacle fans that were present at the world premiere that his latest work perfectly matches the hype. -
MCT:July 20, 2008Good to see Tony Head exercising his lungs again, and this looks to be a stunner. But when are we going to get Ripper: The Series?

I had the chance to see Repo! at the world premiere's screening in Montreal yesterday along with many other viewers and a part of the crew and cast as well. The ambiance was excellent, I was ready to see a great rock opera. Well, it was okay. I liked some characters, especially Repo and Blind Mag. But some others weren't too good. I must also admit that some of the lyrics were bad and could have been written by a twelve year-old teenager. But otherwise, I enjoyed the work done on the art, makeup and set direction.

WTF?!
I... NEED... THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After watching both trailers over and over again I've realized Paris Hilton actually... ROCKS!! OMFG!! What a cast!! -

This sounds cool, shame Paris Hilton is in it. Hopefully not a major role. Who in their right mind would cast her in yet another film. She can't act.

Never saw the play or the short film, in fact I only know about this movie thanks to both imdb.com and Darren Lynn Bousman's shameless plugs for the movie that are peppered throughout the "Saw IV" DVD commentary. That being said, this sounds like it's in the same vein (pardon the pun) as "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Little Shop of Horrors", two musical horror/comedies that I absolutely love. That, and I'm curious to see what kind of a movie Darren Lynn Bousman can craft other than another sequel to "Saw" (he's made THREE of 'em, for cryin' out loud!). Plus, Anthony Head plays the titular character, and every rabid fan of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (or anyone, like me, that has at least seen the infamous episode I'm referencing) knows that he has a fantastic singing voice. With any luck, this'll all add up to a bizzare yet fun night at the "Opera". I look forward to seeing it, even though the trailer comes off like a Marylin Manson video.

Personally I'm not much of a Saw or horror fan myself, but any Buffy fan knows that as unusual of a choice that Repo is for him Anthony Head probably chose to do Repo for the musical aspect of it. I can't wait to see it, and hear him sing :)

I just saw a preview for this during the Scream Award show on Spike and it looks INSANE! It's very very sad that Hilton is in it but Anthony Head is in it and that can't be bad.
