The soundtrack’s not terrible. A little kitch perhaps, but really not so bad.
For anyone who has wastched such films as Troy, whcih has aeroplanes flying through the backdrop of a Grecian era, will appreciate how seeminly tacky Repo! may seem – come on, at least it doesn’t take itself seriously.
It’s deliciously gory, and Anthony Steward Head has never, to my knowledge, carried out a watertight role. Look at him in Buffy!
When’s the DVD extended version coming out, by the by?

I wonder if the writer of this realizes that the original version of the movie (the one that bousman and zdunich(sp?) wanted to release) was originally over 4 hours long. So of course there are going to be holes in the story when they create a film and then are forced to take out chunks of it for time restraints. There are plenty of side stories that were meant to be told but couldn’t. Hence the director’s cut of the movie. Not to mention the fact that this film was created on a little over 8 million says quite a lot. Most of the props and prosthetics were left over’s from his SAW films.

I will admit, the first time I watched REPO! I was not completely sure of what I had just watched. However, I began to find myself singing the songs constantly. I do think that this movie is one that you either love…or you hate. And its obvious that this reviewer fell under the hate category.

Thanks, Kuromisa. That revelation, however, leads me to muse on why she’s bald! Poor girl, does her father shave it every night? Heheh. No, I can only assume the drug/poison makes her hair fall out (?). Pointless to seriously consider when there are other ‘holes’ in the movie, of course.

He lied about the blood disease and drugged her instead, yes, but it’s never quite stated what with. Marni really was sick, but Nathan just wanted to keep Shilo in the house. Bousman says in the audio commentary that they were pressured to take out that bit, but they wouldn’t because it’s one of the main points of the story.

Obviously, spoilers below~
_______________________

You know, I wasn’t confused about the Marni/Rotti poison backstory or the still-charged Chekov’s Gun. I’m wondering about the revelation at the end. Did I miss something?

Did Nathan lie about Marni’s (and thus Shilo’s) blood disease? He admits he drugged her, correct? Was it with Zydrate? So really, Shilo’s just addicted?

Before seeing the movie, the only related thing I’d experienced was one trailer; no soundtrack, no Internet reviews, nothing. I’d heard vaguely that Paris Hilton was nominated for a Razzie for her performance, but I was expecting something like that since it’s Paris Hilton. But you know what? I loved it. Call me gauche, but I thought it was amazing. Even Paris did better than I thought she would, which I guess makes sense since she was all but playing herself. The voice talent was amazing, and Terrance Zdunich’s voice in particular gave me chills. With all due respect, I think this critic is full of it.
