whats all the fuzz with repo? i see it everywhere…its haunting

It’s only the greatest Rock Opera to come of the twenty-first century.

Really, it’s great. It started out as a ten minute opera on stage, then the creators wrote an actual script, then Darren Lynn Bousman picked it up and begged to direct it.

It wasn’t released in big theaters, because it’s such a cult movie. It’s like Blade Runner meets Rocky Horror.

Storyline:

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.

So basically: It’s just awesome.

I was wondering too, but now I know.
