REPO! The Genetic Opera, a futuristic tale of horror, love and betrayal that modernizes the “rock opera” genre with original music and rich, dark production design. REPO! The Genetic Opera features an eclectic cast that includes Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Alexa Vega, Bill Moseley and Paris Hilton. The DVD contains in-depth special features that include cast and crew audio commentaries and featurettes while the Blu-ray Disc includes those features plus video sing-a-longs, additional featurettes, deleted scenes and a bonus audio commentary with Paris Hilton and director Darren Lynn Bousman.

Check out the trailer:

From the producers of the Saw franchise and director Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV), based on a screenplay by Darren Smith & Terrance Zdunich from their original stage play, comes the new cult classic Repo! The Genetic Opera.  A futuristic tale of horror that modernizes the “rock opera” genre with original music and rich, dark production design, the film features an eclectic cast that includes Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Alexa Vega, Bill Moseley and Paris Hilton.  The blend of Moulin Rouge style with The Rocky Horror Picture Show theatrics results in a unique viewing experience that comes to life on DVD and Blu-ray.  At the core of this entire project, however, is the music, which is born of many influences.  This rock opera boasts an entirely original soundtrack that blends equal parts Goth and punk rock to form an eerie and powerful musical narrative.  The DVD contains in-depth special features that include cast and crew audio commentaries and featurettes while the Blu-ray Disc includes those features plus video sing-a-longs, additional featurettes, deleted scenes and a bonus audio commentary with Paris Hilton and director Darren Lynn Bousman.

Repo! The Genetic Opera was an Official Selection of the Fantasy Film Festival, Toronto After Dark Film Festival, Sitges Film Festival, Atlantic Film Festival, Edmonton Film Festival and Austin Fantastic Film Festival and was hailed by horror fans and critics nationwide.    The film was declared “a spirited, absorbing, astounding, thought provoking futuristic fulsome fable” (Horror.com), “fresh, unique and exciting…remarkable” (Bloody-disgusting.com),  “an instant cult classic” (Fearnet) and “absolutely mind-blowing on a visionary level” (Horror-Movies.ca).

In the not-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 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.

Thats right, the 100 worst movies of the year according the TimesOnline.co.uk,

Let the bashing beging, here are the first 11:

100: The Hottie & The Nottie
“The most eagerly hated movie in America is a tongue-in-cheek homage to Paris Hilton that has drawn nothing but poisonous reviews. On IMDb it has been voted the worst film ever made” - James Christopher

99: Sex and the City
“Everything great about the series has been lost in transition. The fizz has gone, the fun looks fake and the laughs are few” - Cosmo Landesman

98: The Incredible Hulk
“Millions of dollars of computer software at their disposal and the best they can come up with is something that looks like angry Plasticine” - Wendy Ide

97: Wanted
“A movie ruthlessly designed for an audience of comic nerds who suspect that they are destined for greater things” - Kevin Maher

96: My Blueberry Nights
“Wong Kar Wai’s first English-language film, and I, for one, hope it will be his last. Something got lost in the translation: his talent” - Cosmo Landesman

95: Easy Virtue
“A criminal waste of Colin Firth – arguably the most charming man in British cinema – in a role that requires him to shuffle around looking like an unmade bed” - Wendy Ide

94: Zack and Miri Make a Porno
“Seth Rogen is an amiable and chubby clown, and quite possibly the most unconvincing romantic hero since Adam Sandler. The most soppy and unsexy 18-certificate skin-flick ever made” - James Christopher

93: Hannah Montana
“Miley Cyrus hails from the Hilary Duff school of wholesome, squeaky-clean candy pop. She comes across as another (fake) blonde singing vacuous fluff, complete with pushy stage mom” - Saadeya Shamsuddin

92: The Oxford Murders
“Imagine The Da Vinci Code remade by a philosophy student, set mostly in Oxford bedsits starring Elijah Wood in the Tom Hanks role, and featuring the world’s most unerotic sex scene” - Kevin Maher

91: Mister Lonely
“Harmony Korine’s bizarre film about a group of celebrity impersonators who hole up in a Scottish castle: gives The Cottage a respectable run for its money in terms of making no sense at all” - James Christopher

90: The X-Files: I Want to Believe
“It’s just not very good; it’s an average episode of the TV series stretched to feature length” - Wendy Ide

89: Fine, Totally Fine
“If you’re someone who can never have enough Hello Kitty merchandise, this might be just the film for you, but I would have found it hard to bear even without the winsome music that dribbles through every scene” - Edward Porter
