Repo: The Genetic Opera



Put this on my MUST SEE list ..... for so many reasons.
Okay where to begin, here's the facts on the movie that I know:
* This is a horror/musical directed by the helm of the Saw movie franchise.
* It lists its inspirations as: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Saw, The Phantom of the Opera, Shock Treatment, and snuff films.
* The movie is based on a play that is written by the guy who plays the killer in the Saw films. It has been produced in London and was a hit.
* The plot is about a family of organ stealers, who work for a large government organ harvest.
* The films baddie is played by Anthony Stewart Head, who most of us loved as Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
* Sarah Brightman (yes the original Christine in the Phantom of the Opera) is in the film! This makes, as far as I know, her first film role.
* It also stars Bill Mosely (who is super creepy in both House of 1000 Corpses, and The Devil's Rejects) and Paris Hilton (yes, you heard it right) as evil brother and sister. Paris' character is addicted to plastic surgery and is said to have a different face in every scene. (she also sings all of her own songs)
* Early reviews at press screenings have been good. All the actors and singers have been getting good reviews, and for you gore hounds, its supposed to be disgusting.
* Its going through the final editing process and will be out later this year.

COUNT ME IN!
