Repo! The Genetic Opera
“Not Your Parents' Opera.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 69, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A corporation finances replacement organs and sends collectors when customers fall behind. That magnificent premise becomes a densely sung gothic family feud, with Anthony Stewart Head providing a strong voice amid cramped theatrical spectacle. A divisive cult musical for viewers happy to wallow in extravagant morbidity.
