The people behind Repo! The Genetic Opera unquestionably have plenty of passion regrettably, they could have used a bit less passion and a little more thought and judicious editing. Bousman also doesn't do much to shape the material or the performances in a clear way, choosing instead to let the hammering, droning songs propel the film from one moment of special-effects gore to the next. Director Darren Lynn Bousman wrings every possible penny of production value out of his budget - the Blade Runner-inspired future mega-city is an eye-popper - but the comic-book style graphic interludes that set up the story and show viewers establishing flashbacks are so static and long that they become a bore.

NINA DOBREV REPO THE GENETIC OPERA MOVIE
But the songs aren't particularly memorable, and while Repo! The Genetic Opera is trying to put a 21st-century spin on the goofy, giddy operatic style of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this movie is gory and grisly where its inspiration is campy and clever.īut many of the performers are game, especially in their musical performances Head, for one, has a reedy tenor that sounds not unlike David Bowie, and the operatically trained Sorvino has a rippling, rich baritone that makes his musical numbers pulse with power. STARRING: Paul Sorvino, Paris Hilton, Bill Moseley, Anthony Head, Alexa Vega, Dean Armstrong, Nina Bergman, Sarah Brightman. The plot combines elements of The Little Mermaid (Shilo, confined to home by illness and a protective father, longs to see the world outside) and King Lear (the dying Largo tries to find a suitable heir for his corporate kingdom), along with a subplot revolving around drug and surgical addiction and an opera singer (Sarah Brightman) who owes her very sight to Largo's corporation and goodwill.

REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA began as a stage play musical the screen version is bigger, bolder - and bloodier.
