Repo! The Genetic Opera Movie (2008)
A worldwide epidemic encourages a biotech company to launch an organ-financing program similar in nature to a standard car loan. The repossession clause is a killer, however.
In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an 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 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.

Movie Comments & Discussion
It's different from you typical musical.It has a little twist and it kinda makes you think about what could happen in the future.I like the parts with the character Graverobber.I found out about the movie from a song that the movie has called Zydrate Anatomy. If, horror films don't gross you out as much or, you're looking for something edgy then, this movie will pull you in. My two favorite characters in here are Graverobber and Blind Mag.
