Repo: The Genetic Opera has been getting a ton of good buzz, which is a strange thing. It is directed by the guy who made Saws II through IV, after all. But his film about a futuristic society where people can lease organs for their body (and thus get a visit from the repo man if they don’t pay their bills) has been getting heaps of praise. It’s definitely a unique-looking film, of that there’s no doubt. And how many gory musicals can you name?
 
The film releases on November 7th but in a very limited release. Why would Lionsgate release an original film in a lot of theaters when it can pack them in with Saw V, after all? It’s Midnight Meat Train all over again…

Here’s the list of theaters that will have Repo–

LOS ANGELES, CA:
Sunset 5

PASADENA, CA:
Playhouse 7

SAN FRANCISCO, CA:
Lumiere Theatre

BERKELEY, CA:
Elmwood Theatre

LAS VEGAS, NV:

AUSTIN, TX:
The Alamo Drafthouse

NEW YORK, NY:
The Angelika

MINNEAPOLIS, MN:
Edina Cinema

Check the official site out for the trailer and a couple of film clips that will give you a demonstration of the tone. Sure, it looks goofy and silly, but anything that could possibly replace the Rocky Horror Picture Show for morbid drama students is fine with me.
