Repo! The Genetic Opera

Now, this was a toughy for me.

Cheesy songs, PARIS HILTON... all the signs of a terrible movie...


but I loved it.

This is why I have somewhat of a difficult time seeing myself as a film critic, because... I love BAD movies.

I think it's this generation's Rocky Horror. It's weird, insane and completely entertaining. It also stars some brilliantly amazing people, such as Nivek Ogre, singer of Skinny Puppy(I'm a goth kid, what can I say?). He has always had such a delightful voice and seeing it in this film was wonderful, my only complain was he didn't get enough screen time and he should have had his own solo song. Also in the film, Bill Moseley. He is the best thing to happen to the horror genre in a really long time, I was lucky enough to meet him and discuss this film with him before it's released, and he did not disappoint!

and then... there is Paris Hilton. And you want to hate her, but she plays... pretty much herself. Obsessed with surgeries, wants to take over the family business and be a singer but is... unsuccessful. In fact, there is one point where she is twirling on stage, knocking shit over, and HER FACE FALLS OFF. I lost it, funniest thing I've seen since Tera Reid's stomach.

LOOK I got a screencap!


How could you not love that?

Storyline from IMDB, if you care:

"In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera."

It was fun.
