Video: “Repo: The Genetic Opera”

It’s the future, a darkly gothic one, and there is a catastrophe afflicting humanity - a massive epidemic of organ failures. Thanks to a biotech conglomerate called GENECO, people can get replacement organs to preserve their health at a premium, but they had better not default on their subsequent payments. Functioning organs are highly valuable, and they’re subject to repossession if the terms of the agreement aren’t met. Internal organ repo is a gruesome business, and in Repo: The Genetic Opera, you can see just how ugly things can get in this new world, with soaring musical accompaniment. Starring Alexa Vega (Spy Kids), Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Paul Sorvino, Sarah Brightman and Tobin Bell of Saw, the film is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, who helmed Saw II, III and IV, so it lies firmly within that bloody horror genre in which he’s built his career.
