Edit: I forgot to put the summary. Oops ^_^ From IMDb...
"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. Written by Lionsgate"
Anyone a fan? Has anyone seen it? It's a Rock Opera - so it's sung the entire way through.
I love this film. I'm a big fan of Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Paul Sorvino and Ogre. I've been supporting the grass-roots feel and community of this film since last July. The community is amazing, the movie has a gritty feel and wow at the concepts!
Let me just say... the only reason I found out about this is through Anthony Stewart Head's IMDb page. I was looking up his line for Sweeney Todd and saw the link for this new project, post-production. "What ho? What praytell is this?" I'd had sugar that day. Don't judge. XD
If you like rock, over-the-top villains, distopian futuristic films, you're gonna love this. Not only that, but all the wardrobe and such are Gothic, almost Victorian. It's a very interesting mesh of the past and the future.
The themes of the movie touch on more than your average horror/future film. There are touches of a social commentary on the use of cosmetic surgery as a tool to show elitist separatism, the use of drugs to escape reality.
Or you could just be like me and watch ASH get all dolled up in Leather and hack a few people to pieces to Repo some unpaid organs.
There's a little bit of everything in this movie - a story of family, dark comedy, twisted villains, drama, and a big finish at the - where else?! - Genetic Opera!
