Viewing Notes

Via Netflix

A worldwide epidemic encourages a bio-tech company to launch an organ-financing program similar in nature to a standard car loan. The repossession clause is a killer, however as the company is authorized to send out Repo Men to take back whatever you were given and they can go as far to do it as they want.  Part mystery thriller, part musical, part sci-fi and a lot of body horror thrown into the mix in this. Not all of the songs are great and more dialogue is sung than spoken. The music is fun and catchy, the world bizarre and twisted, and the gore, well, if you like gore there’s plenty. Probably one of my favorite musical films as it combines so many things I love.
