The thing is, for some reason, the story in it is kind of a “classic” and became quickly boring to me. The universe is great, the visuals are impressive, and I really wanted to love this movie. Somehow however, the “musical horror” gimmick kind of got boring to me about half of the movie. My favorite song in the movie by far is “Chase the morning” (see youtube video below), followed by “Zydrate anatomy”. The songs go from “meh” to pretty cool stuff. It is a musical, did I forget to mention that? Oh, also, pretty much the whole movie is made of rock songs. In a way, the disgusting torture-porn bits of the movie integrate very well with the rest of the atmosphere, and somehow this is not as frightening as a movie like Saw. Nevertheless, the movie is, interestingly, not as disgusting as a Saw movie, and the story kind of makes sense. Which kind of hurts… there’s a reason this is being produced by Twisted pictures, the people who made Saw, after all Pun aside, Repo the genetic opera takes place in a pretty cool futuristic place, were people take a loan on surgery, and if they can’t manage to make the payments, the company selling the manufactured organs can take them back. The repossession clause is a killer, however. Plus the scenario of the movie was definitely intriguing:Ī worldwide epidemic encourages a biotech company to launch an organ-financing program similar in nature to a standard car loan. Produced and directed by the creative team behind the SAW franchise.įor some reason I have been missing a good disgusting-horror movie these days and I felt in the mood for it. This is what Amazon Instant video has to say about the movie:īy fusing the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and BLADE RUNNER, this unique production will modernize the “rock opera” genre with original music and rich, dark production design. It is available for free on Amazon Prime (you can get a one month free trial here if you want to watch the movie for free), and also on Netflix. “Repo the Genetic Opera” is a horror musical (yes, you read correctly), and definitely gains points for originality.
So, this movie showed up in my Amazon Prime recommendations this weekend, and I see that it is available on Netflix as well, as of a few days ago.
