(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 40% Rotten Page   1   "This unique film is Exhibit A for those searching for evidence of life in the musical genre outside of kitschy numbers with conspicuously sunny lyrics."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari "Falling somewhere between Rocky Horror, Moulin Rouge! and Eyes Without A Face (with songs!), Repo! The Genetic Opera is the filmic equivalent of what architects call a 'folly'."   Little White Lies   Anton Bitel B+ "Repo! lingers long after it ends, due in great part to a handful of memorable tunes and its persistent funky attitude, marked by an impressive desire to savor oddity and unconventional displays of heartache."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 2/4 "People may want to label this emotionally cold curiosity piece as a cult in the making, but such claims might be jumping the gun. The picture doesn't hold nearly enough charm for that."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 1.5/4 "Give me torture porn any day."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 2/5 "Gory, goofy musical is bloody and bombastic."   Common Sense Media   James Rocchi .5/5 "Without question, Repo! The Genetic Opera will pop up on worst-movies-of-the-year lists."   Boxoffice Magazine   John P. McCarthy 3/5 "somewhere between Nine Inch Nails and The Rocky Horror Picture Show"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 5/10 "This is a Grand Guignol science fiction rock opera. The plot is minimal and for a rock opera, there is too little real melody."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper D+ "Rips off heavy metal and horror aesthetics to absolutely dismal effect."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 3/5 "Truly, the movie doesn't gain a lot from being set to music; after about half an hour it starts to feel like a gimmick."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves "If you're looking for insight into the death and resurrection of Christ, look no further: I can think of no better means by which to experience the cumulative effect of three days in hell in under 100 minutes."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick 3.5/5 "For all its glitches and oddities, Repo! impressed me on sheer force of strangeness, originality, and audacity."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg "There is too much ambition on display for the film to be completely dismissed, but good intentions carry Repo! only partway toward success."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 3/5 "Repo! isn't like anything else out there, for whatever it's worth, or anything I've ever seen; between us, though, I'm going to hold out for a midnight staple more my speed."   Cinematical   William Goss  (1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 40% Rotten Page   1
