Feature: Repo! The Genetic Opera

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 19, 2012, 4:27 AM
This one neither of us had watched. I've seen the remake of it called Repo Men made a couple of years ago but not the original musical that was based off of. This was a pleasant surprise. It was a lot darker than I thought it was going to be and very bloody so beware if you're squeamish and plan to watch. It has a lot of singing to it... More than I thought it would. Most of the lines were done to music, it wasn't acting with musical numbers here or there, it was singing your lines with musical numbers here and there. I'm glad we added it to the list of halloween musicals to watch. Turned out pretty great in the end.

It's a bit of a low budgety looking horror film where these weird sisters encounter a werewolf and one of them is bitten. There are 3 films in total - Ginger Snaps (#1), Ginger Snaps Back (#2), and Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (#3, Sorta Pre-quel).

I loved and hated the Genetic Opera. The music was horrible and wonderful at the same time. I really liked the main narrator guy. And later learned he is actually the writer/director/creator or something. I check IMDB after just about every movie I watch. And Repo Men had nothing to do with Repo! Genetic Opera. And many people were in an uproar about the theme, etc. But the creator made an official statement that you cannot copyright the idea. Which I do not believe is original either, think I recall something, maybe a book about repossessions of this sort... Any ways, he told his fans to cool it, there was nothing that could be done as the story was entirely different and it wasn't a musical, etc.

I enjoyed both for their own merits. Jude Law is a merit.
