This ladies and gentleman, is a movie I remember in 2008, and looked at it as a movie that I would never in a million years wanted to watch and this was 2008, the year Dark Knight became a box office success moreover I was 22 years old. Through years of movie watching behind me, furthermore it was on Tubi a streaming service where anyone can use when it comes to free things though must put up with commercials or ads. Repo! The Genetic Opera is one of those movies that I still have no idea of how producers can look at this movie and simply say "yes will defiantly green light this movie". For many reasons yes, it's a musical and yes has a lot of science fiction elements to the film, but also has this Gothic/heavy metal feel to it, and it's really, really, weird.
In the mid-21st century, an epidemic of organ failures leads to the rise of GenCo., a company providing transplants at a great price. Those who miss their payments become targets of GenCo. mercenaries, who repossess the organs. In a world of drug addiction and legalized murder, a sheltered youth (Alexa Vega) seeks cure for her rare diseases as well as information about her family's mysterious history. Her questions are answered at "The Genetic Opera."
What makes the film weird is how producers can look at a based rock musical, but also a carbon copy of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and sure I've never seen it but I'm confident it has Tim Curry who’s either a man or woman for which either way is unimportant. Yes, I've seen previews moreover images of Rocky Horror Picture Show furthermore can look at a movie like Repo! The Genetic Opera and see how clearly it has the same feel as Rocky Horror Picture Show, but is also a gothic, rock, horror, musical that contains some decent actors one who’s a real singer and one who does not belong in acting nor should of been allowed to sing as well because she's a horrible singer. Now if you’re having trouble on who I'm talking about don't worry it's Paris Hilton whose one of the cast members in the movie, and so if you were me in a teenager or a college man you'd be hearing of the Hilton sisters both Paris and Nicky Hilton (Nicky was mostly a twin sister that didn't have a whole lot of quote on quote fame so she doesn't matter) and they would always appear on the Red Carpet on movie premieres' or Award shows, like these two broads were so rich and famous for being part of the Hilton family of hotels & resorts moreover Paris was at the center of that but like Kim Kardashian she also had a sex tape that made her even more famous plus gave her a bunch of reality shows, came out with her own music album titles Paris, with her only one hit wonder Stars Go Blind for which leads us to Repo! The Genetic Opera because whoever was the casting director heard her album moreover her past acting films where she died in almost every movie. And really when Repo was coming out in 2008, it was her singing that was so cringe and felt like you’re watching a car crash as well as a train wreck that you can't stop but watch, and this was 08, that I was like yeah I'm not going to watch this, until now I figured this wasn't going to hurt me but it does ask me questions of why? Why in God's name would you cast a rich socialite like Paris Hilton with not talent no experience in acting or singing, TO BE IN YOU'RE MOVIE? Either way it doesn't matter when it comes to Paris Hilton because I found a satisfying fact that she won a Golden Raspberry Award for worst performance in a supporting role so, deep down there are good people out there to say that Hilton was the worst choice. The other thing in what makes me question why to green light a movie like Repo, is that this was a gothic Rock musical and you remember all the South Park episodes where they included like four Goth kids and are just like "ah I hate my parents, f*ck life, call me night pain" and I even remember a few kids in my High School class that were all about wearing over dramatic makeup and donning black hoodies which is in sane really in how that memory came out into the open moreover that's basically what this movie really is, in a future we've all tuned into lame Goth people where our favorite store is Hot Topic and thank God that this movie was set in the year 2056 because if I woke up into that world I wouldn't hesitate to jump off the ledge. I do question everyone in the movie sinking because they cast the only Opera singer in the movie Sarah Brightman whose resume dates back to Andrew Lloyd Webber's first Phantom of the Opera does a good job in this movie which really is the only compliment I can really give, but also cast like Paul Sorvino whose best known for Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas for which I'm curious if he really did sing in the movie for many reasons the guy is Italian and all Italian's can sing at an Opera level though really it's not a big deal of a question to ask because I'm not going to watch this film again. There will be times where I am not feeling the need or wanting to watch a movie but when a weird movie comes around 97 minutes long, you can't resist because you never know if you find something that's refreshing moreover can't resist in embracing how strange the film is furthermore can't help in watching the train wreck singing that is Paris Hilton. So, if you're a Goth person who wears nothing but black, has black hair, wears way too much make up, love going to Hot Topic, have a hatred for your parents and life? Well, then this movie is without a doubt your cup of blood tea.
