Repo! The Genetic Opera Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

I'm not surprised that there hasn't been a topic about this one yet since Lionsgate essentially dumped it on disc yesterday with very little fanfare.

I picked up the Blu and while I haven't had the time to watch the whole thing, the sound and picture were excellent. Vibrant colors, good contrast and no artificial enhancement that I could see.

As for the movie itself, if you haven't heard about it, I would definitely recommend checking it out. It's a horror musical set in a dystopic future where organ failure has become an epidemic. It's got some fun FX work, good music and a terrific cast (even Paris Hilton isn't terrible).

It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly deserved better than the limp theatrical release it got.

HTF just got our review copy this week and it is on it's way out to a reviewer, so one should be posted in a few days.

I love this film. Saw it twice at the theater (it was playing at the Plaza Theater in Atlanta) and last night on Blu-Ray. I hope it picks up a following on DVD/Blu-Ray so we can possibly see a director's cut down the road.

Also, I was surprised to learn that three of the songs are in the running to possibly be nominated for an Oscar (there are 49 total under consideration) - Zydrate Anatomy, Chase the Morning and Chromaggia.

I challenge anyone to watch this movie without getting "Zydrate Anatomy" stuck in their head!!
