REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA at HYPERREAL FILM CLUB

  • Hyperreal Film Club 301 Chicon Street Austin, TX, 78702 United States (map)

The vitals:
7:00 ~ Doors
7:30 ~ Freaks Only presents: REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA

Hot off the heels of SAW II, III, and IV, director Darren Lynn Bousman turned his eye for the grotesque towards the hallowed halls of the movie musical. The stitched-together monster which emerged was REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA; an overstuffed, overdramatic, beautiful mess of a film. As excitable and eager to please as a caffeinated carnival barker, REPO pulls the curtain to reveal a 94-minute freakshow stuffed with painfully 2000s proto-MEGALOPOLIS dystopian madness - where else will you see Paris Hilton and the frontman of Skinny Puppy share a frame? We aren’t qualified enough to state that REPO is “good,” but we can comfortably say this is the most fun you’ll ever have with organ repossession. Just avoid the splash zone.
