Review Tuesday: Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

  

 

Repo!

The Genetic Opera

(2008)

A Gothic Musical about a an organ repo-man. 

My BFF wanted to watch a movie and suggested this. I had never heard of it before, so, why not?  

 

Nathan, the Repo-Man (played by Anthony Head of Buffy The Vampire Slayer fame) is tasked with repossessing replacement organs from people who aren't able to keep up their payments in a post-pandemic world. 

 

Does the story really make much sense? No. But it is a MUSICAL, so that gets pushed aside for the theatrics and song and dance. So you have great sets, and an amazing cast putting on a fun show with some extra Goth flavor. 

 

If you aren't familiar with this, but enjoy spooky films and musicals, this movie will be very satisfying. I know I enjoyed it very much!
