Repo! The Genetic Opera, nice visuals, some fun ideas, some of the singing is great (it's the best thing Sarah Brightman's done since I Lost My Heart To A Draft Excluder) and shock horror Paris Hilton, not bad (no really) but this should have been a musical not an opera.

Some of the fun ideas need talking around and the singing can't hold the exposition, what it needed was a night surgeon to catch up with the thing in the dead of night and cut it's vocal cords out during a key moments.

It's really tries too hard to be a cult movie (you can't force that, if it happens it happens) by putting in too many visual references to already existing cult movies.

Worth a watch but a bit too we are weird for my taste.

Buffy fans already know that one of the cast can sing and he is on form throughout here...if they must make another Lecter film give him the role, he looks great knee deep in guts.
