Please support the movie by going out and buying the DVD or Blue-ray. If the movie does well enough they're planning a sequal and maybe even a prequel.

I've seen the movie twice now, so if you have any questions, or have alread seen the movie and would like to discuss it, go right on ahead.

I met my husband at the rocky horror picture show. He played riff raff in the shadow cast and I just bought Repo.

I was introduced to both by my friends, And I love both now. Especially REPO. I'm a hardcore fan now :3

I absolutely love Rocky Horror Picture Show but I hated Repo. Lol.

D: what didn't you like about it?

I don't like the music basically. I did like Blind Mag though, she was pretty and my fave character.

Ah, yes, blind mag was my favorite as well. I suppose the two movies can be mutually exclusive. I had thought the songs and filming style were very similar.

I like the gore and all the killing that was pretty cool, but I just didn't like the music. :\ It was okay, I guess. Lol. I would still rather watch Rocky Horror Picture Show. My boyfriend and I always do that thing that Magenta and Riff Raff do with their arms where they swish them up, and I always get up to dance for the time warp. My friend got me the dvd so I wear it out. Lol.

ive never been, but like most of my friends have. =[ im so jealous

I'd love to go to one of the big showings where people shadow the movie. My friends know all the callbacks, it's quite fun actually.

Hey, I thought I'd pop in and say that I absolutely love Repo!
My friend and I have watched it about six times in the past four days and when its not on the soundtrack was probably playing.

We know every song by heart almost. xD
We are a little sad, but we love it.

that ^ "friend" here!. :3
i did a dangerous thing showing repo! to her, but now i have someone to fangirl and cosplay with. XD

XD awesome. My friends and I cosplayed as repo characters for an anime convention recently. We kept bursting into songs because we all also know them by heart.

i'm a huge rocky horror fan but i won't bother checking out repo now... you should check out Shock Treatment if you havnt yet(its the sequal to rocky horror picture show)

Repo! The Genetic Opera

I watched this last night and I am keen to hear what other people have to say about it. I know a handful of people who saw it before me and I got a mixed bunch of reviews. Some of my friends thought it was stupid, and some thought it was brilliant.

For those who don't know, Repo is a rock opera that takes place in a very... messed up future. Complete with organ repossessions and drugs! Yay?

ANYWAY, I found myself getting sucked into it as I watched and I quite enjoyed the soundtrack. However I think what stuck with me the most was the atmosphere they built up for it.

..I am not feeling very eloquent tonight, but regardless.

Have you seen it and what did you think?

I was in our local Rocky cast....I played the midget trannie. She was hella ugly, but I made her hot! I'll see if I can borrow Repo from Aoi.

its the REPOOOOOOOOOMAN
the grave robber was the best O.O
i really need to get the soundtrack too cause that was just amazingly awesome to the maxorz
although i find it hilarious that it had Paris Hilton in it lol

I adore the Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! Its my favourite! I've been a fan since I saw it when I was a child! Doesnt everyone?

REPO looks good. Im listening to the soundtrack now and it sounds good! I'll have to watch it soon.

I originally picked up Repo! because I've been stalking Sarah Brightman's career for about 9 years now, but before she even got one line out, I'd already fallen head over heels for the premise and setting.
Oh, and Terrance Zdunich as Graverobber. His voice in '21st Century Cure' made me break out in a cold sweat. This man has a voice like liquid ecstasy dipped in sex. I'm going to pretty much follow him around all weekend at Horror Fest this November. Orlando, Florida, Repo! fans! Be there or be square!

repo the genetic opera... love it? hate it? whats repo?

this is one of the best movies ever. if you like twisted movies watch it. especially if you like rocky horror picture show. it has an amazing soundtrack, amazing storlyline and amazing actors.

Quote:

the basic story line is set in the year twenty-fiftysix. this is twentysix years after an epidemic of organ failures devastated our planet. Out of this tragedy, the Bio-Tech Company GeneCo, run by Rotti Largo (Paul Sorvino), emerges providing organ transplants to the needy populace on a financial plan, making it affordable to anyone who needed one. Through his efforts, Rotti also got approval to create the Repo Men, assassins dispatched to deal with customers who default on their payments and made his company become a megacorporation, having influence from politics to fashion. In the present time, 17 year-old Shilo Wallace (Alexa Vega) explores the cemetery where her mother is entombed. Hiding from GENcop searchlights, she runs into the GraveRobber (Terrance Zdunich), a dealer of an addictive, expensive, painkiller Zydrate. Encountering GENcops, Shilo passes out and awakens in her house, where her overprotective father, Nathan (Anthony Stewart Head), has kept her locked all her life. Shilo has been suffering from an apparent blood disease inherited from her mother, Marni, who died taking a “cure” invented by Nathan. While Shilo believes he's a doctor, Nathan is actually one of GeneCo’s Repo Men.

Meanwhile, Rotti Largo, who is dying, views Shilo as a possible heir. He refuses to consider his bickering children, Luigi (Bill Moseley), Pavi (Ogre), and Amber (Paris Hilton), viewing them as “vultures and ingrates.” Rotti, formerly Nathan’s rival for Marni’s affections, and secretly, her killer, asks Shilo to meet with him at the cemetery. When they meet, Rotti tells Shilo of a cure for her condition before introducing her to his GeneCo Genetic Opera’s star singer, Blind Mag (Sarah Brightman). While Mag announces her retirement to the public, Shilo is taken to a tent to be guarded by a few henchgirls (Alisa Burket and Andreja Punkris). Unfortunately, her father calls her during work to remind her to take her medicine, which nearly causes Nathan to come home early.

GraveRobber helps Shilo escape from the tent and introduces her to Zydrate, a popular drug for surgery addicts. Amber, a Zydrate addict and, ironically, spokesperson for the rehab center, "Zydrate Support Network", arrives to take a hit of the drug. Amber reveals that since Mag's eyes belong to GeneCo, her retirement means that she defaults on the agreement she made to sing in exchange for her sight. Afterwards, Amber will replace Mag as the star of the opera. The arrival of GENcops causes the group to scatter except for Amber and her valets, who hold her up as she passes out in a drug-induced haze. Meanwhile, Nathan receives his next target from Rotti – Mag, but refuses his order, since she was Marni's best friend. For his insubordination, Rotti places a hit on Nathan's head.

Arriving at Shilo's house to invite her to the Genetic Opera, Mag reveals to her that she is her godmother. After she warns Shilo to not make the same mistakes she did, Nathan arrives home and kicks Mag out. This prompts an argument between Nathan and Shilo, which ends when Nathan slaps her, causing her to pass out. Later that night, the characters converge at the Genetic Opera. At the performance, Amber’s stage debut bombs when her face falls off. During Mag’s performance, she gouges out her eyes and is dropped to her death by Rotti onto a wrought iron fence. After convincing the audience it was part of the show, Rotti instructs Shilo to capture the Repo Man for her cure. Attacking the Repo Man back stage with a shovel, Shilo discovers, to her horror, that it’s her father. Rotti then reveals to Shilo that her condition was caused by “medication” provided by Nathan, who says that he did so to keep her from the outside world. When Shilo refuses to accept Rotti’s offer to inherit GeneCo by killing off her father, Rotti shoots Nathan himself before expiring from his disease. After she and her father exchange final goodbyes, Shilo leaves the stage, free from her Genetic destiny. The following day, as revealed by the GraveRobber, Shilo turned down inheriting GeneCo. Instead, Amber took over and auctioned off her face to charity. Pavi won after Luigi killed the top 3 bidders.

i suggest you go run and see it. it was on limited release and was only released in the US cities of Pasadena, Chicago, Mobile, Charlotte, and Kansas City. and in Canada in Toronto and Ottawa. its a fairly new movie released in 2008. amazing amazing amazing.

shadowroseeternity, I've merged your thread with our original Repo topic.

Always remember to search the forum or use the forum index before making a new thread. :yes:

I loved the Rocky Horror Picture show! Seeing it live in November and can not wait, going to be a girls night out!
Never seen REPO now though.

I haven't seen this movie, nor do I plan to. I've seen the trailers, and a few scenes, and I don't think I could watch it without throwing up a few times.

The music is amazing, however. It has The Phantom of the Opera beat.

Repo is so awsome the blood and gore with sing is so cool :lol:
Pavi lady face, Bling Mag's cool eye, and repoman just killing people :lol:

Repo is a weird movie but its a good horror opera to watch with the blood and gore with the dark scenes and the character gothic looks.
