Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
This is the weirdest, most frakked-up, most horrifying thing I have ever seen. The little girl from Spy Kids has cancer, goes to see the head of an organization that repossesses organs from transplant patients, and is used in a vicious revenge scheme. Anthony Stewart Head rips people's stomachs out in his basement. Paris Hilton sings. What?? And it's an opera! It's like Sweeney Todd on steroids and a bad acid trip. I feel like it was kind of trying to do what Grindhouse did, but it's not enough. It's not bad enough to be good and it's certainly not good - it's in the middle where bad is just bad and singing murderers are not endearing to anyone, even if they are Giles.
My Netflix rating: 2 stars
I was actually describing this movie to someone TONIGHT the exact same way- not bad enough to be good!
