About
Repo
Repo is a one of a
kind movie. Imagine the cult classic
Rocky Horror Picture Show, add the fascinating
imaginary of Moulin Rogue meets Saw
and top that off with an unbelievable
soundtrack. It's a modern and dark rock
opera, based on a written play and composed
by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich.
Plot Summary:
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.
