Editorial Review: Amazon.com: What do Paris Hilton, Sarah Brightman, Clown from Slipknot - Paul Sorvino, Steven Perkins and Bill Mosley have in common? REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman Produced by Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate Written by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich Starring Paul Sorvino, Alexa Vega, Paris Hilton, Anthony Head, Bill Mosely, Ogre, Terrance Zdunich and Sarah Brightman, (cameo by Joan Jett) In the no-so-distant future, a worldwide 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 THE REPO MAN. By fusing ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and BLADE RUNNER, this futuristic tale of horror modernizes the rock opera genre with original music and rich, dark production design. This rock opera boasts an entirely original soundtrack that blends equal parts goth and punk rock to form an eerie and powerful musical narrative. All of the actors performed their own songs, and the music was provided by an all-star lineup that features performances from Richard Patrick (Filter), Steven Perkins (Jane's Addiction), Clown (Slipknot), Ray Luzier (Army of Anyone), Brian Young (David Lee Roth's band), Richard Fortus (Guns & Roses), Sonny Moore (First to Last), David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), Daniel Ash (Love & Rockets), Blasko (Ozzy Osborne), Tommy Clefetus (Rob Zombie's band), Melora Creager (Rasputina). Also lending her voice to the soundtrack is the edgy pop star Poe. Japanese musician and composer Yoshiki Haysahi (of the legendary rock band X-Japan) co-produced the music with Joe Bishara to create one of the most diverse soundtracks in movie history. This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Kung Fu Vampire approves of Repo....and then somethis movie rocked, the soundtrack has been stuck in my head and i loved every moment of this movie...I don't tend to lean towards musicals but this was amazing. Darren rocked this movies Darren style....respect to all involved in Repo The Genetic Opera. Rating: - Awesome concept but mixed resultsIt sounded like a great idea: a new genre of opera mixed with rock. I thought it had potential to be excellent, especially with good singers, good story, and of course, good music. However, it also had the potential be overally cheesy, low-quality, or overblown. I'm afraid Repo! has more than a little cheesiness, but some of the songs are pretty interesting and creative, most notably "Chase the Morning." I knew nothing about the show other than that Sarah Brightman had a role in it, ... Read More: Rating: - A surprisingly cohesive mix!Representing rock, opera, punk, pop, and industrial styles all within the same album is not an easy task. Making the album cohesive as a whole is even more difficult. But the Repo! soundtrack does just that, effortlessly transferring motifs from, for example, its opera numbers into much heavier industrial pieces. The music is compositionally sound, and the album feels like a solid work, not just a number of parts. It definitely stands on its own, and would make a good addition to a number of diverse ... Read More: Rating: - Shocked and appalled... and loving it!Wow. I am shocked. And delighted! Now, I've never written an online review of anything, so bear with me. I've been a fan of dark(er) music for most of my life, especially gothic/industrial (I actually own a local CD store that specializes in those genres). I didn't know what to expect from this project, but I knew that Nivek Ogre [Skinny Puppy] was involved, so I had to check it out. From the moment I pressed play, I was in love. The music is... different. It's a disservice ... Read More: Rating: - Amazing stuffI had my reservations about what to expect of Sarah Brightman doing something as "risque" as this but I'm thrilled with what the producers for this film and, of course, Sarah's done. It's very refreshing to see her in a different role. I saw a clip of "Chase the morning" ( which is easily the best track on the album) on Youtube and I'm quiet obsessed! The performances are polished and I think we have a cult hit in the making. |
