Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

Repo! The Genetic Opera was written, directed by and features Terrance Zdunich. This movie stars Paris Hilton, Anthony Stewart Head (who played Giles in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series) and Sarah Brightman.

First of all, Sarah Brightman?!? I though she'd be much too... classy for this movie. However, she did a great job as Blind Mag, and her voice really shines against the more modern styles of the other actors.

Overall, this is an amazing movie. Seriously. The lyrics and plot may be a bit weak at times, but the sheer over-the-top lunacy of the movie makes it a wonder to watch. It's like Brian DePalma's Phantom of the Paradise (1974) in that it exists more as a spectacle than a story.

Also, it's worth watching to see Paris Hilton as a plastic surgery junkie whose face falls right off.

A+

Just thought I'd post some of these amazing pictures from Toronto's Zombie Walk. People went all out, and it really shows. Here's a few of my favorites:
