BellaM.Mar 20, 201010This film is truly the Rocky Horror of our generation. Yes, it's campy but that's a huge part of it's charm and appeal. There are SO many opportunities for callback lines, and it's just an absolute blast. Not to mention the music is FANTASTIC.

RyanQAug 30, 20090Wow... it's really bad... really, really bad. just turned it off after about 45 min. couldn't take it anymore. bad music, poorly shot + acted + directed. the only thing worse that all that? the pathetic lyrics/ dialog. simply embarrassing. don't wast your time!!!

AlanB.Nov 8, 200810Like a good solid cross between Ultraviolet and Voyage of the Rock Aliens, this movie was all I expected and more. Super trashy and and knowing it! Don't expect plain old good from this movie. Be ready for a temper tantrum of exultant gut wrenching greatness.

ZachL.Dec 1, 200810I had the pleasure of seeing this film this past weekend and I enjoyed every minute of it. And given the way that the know-nothing "critics" are rating it, it's sure to become this generations Rock Horror.

M.AlexJan 10, 200910Lovely movie, no idea why the critics went so hard on it. It is gothy, but not in a bad way, Head's absolutely amazing, Hilton is utterly OK. A nice, fun movie.

-
ScottKJan 22, 200910This movie was awesome! Obviously the people giving it a bad review are people who don't appreciate live musical shows or operas, as this was shot in the style of an actual Broadway performance and not specifically as a movie is layed out or choreographed.

BenCJan 25, 200910This movie is absolutely incredible. The singing is fantastic, as is the plot and theme. I really don't understand why all these critics are so negative about it.

AdamK.Dec 19, 200810The looks on this movie are just artistical. A truly cyberpunk musical with strong and precious songs and above average performances from no-singers (except for Ogre and Brightman). A wonderful musical to enjoy.

EricKJan 19, 20092The camera work is poor, and at time nauseating if you suffer from any degree of motion sickness. This film attempts to become a Rocky Horror to the current generation, but misses the boat entirely. Popular enthusiasm comes from a generation of instant gratification that want's its own "cult classic" without trying to give it the time to develop.

KevinJan 24, 20091I enjoy bizarre movies, so the concept of a horror musical appealed to me, but honestly, the idea was not well-executed. The acting, music, lyrics were all below average. Great idea: bad film.

AMovieCriticJan 25, 20098A pretty great film, recommended to fans of twisted, dark, and original movies. Unlike anything I've ever seen. Its low-budget roots are always clear and at times I wondered how this would have looked with a bigger budget but Darren Lynn Bousman, (director of the best Saw, the 2nd one) makes the most of this, with some great stylish lighting and sound. Fun movie.

RyanSJan 7, 20099Okay, this not good movie and its not a movie for everyone. BUT, all that aside I really enjoyed it, me and my friends had a lot of fun going to see it and we have been talking about it for a week straight now and want to see it again. Its probally gonna be one of favorites, cause its one of those movies I could watch over and over.

MattBApr 3, 20098I thought this was very enjoyable, and it hasn't gotten boring even after 5 viewings. But it's not perfect. The lyrics could've been written much better.

SisterD.Nov 27, 200810There is something wrong with a society that would rather watch a movie about chimps in space or chihuahas in beverly hills than a movie that has great social commentary, great music, beautiful cinematography and is the different that the public is showing they desire from the film industry! Testify!

JerradNJan 26, 20096Great concept, fantastic visual and costume design, characters, plot, etc... however, the songs completely ruined it for me. Cheesy dialouge just sing-song with music; it could've been so much better.

JenniferB.Jan 27, 200910I love this movie! I think this was the best musical since Grease came out. I loved the glam and over the top effects of it. I hope that there is a sequel.

DrewCFeb 12, 200910The "professional" critics (unsurprisingly) don't get it. This is an original and thoroughly enjoyable film.

SeanFFeb 16, 20098I thought this film was really good at being what it was supposed to be.. a campy industrial/goth/rock horror opera. While a few scenes seemed a little forced, the overall experience is a guilty pleasure if you are into the goth/post goth scene.

AaronAFeb 24, 20099First saw this live at The Musicbox in Chicago and the crowd was loving it. It was a "back by demand" repeat showing, and some of the crowd was in costume and starting to play along Rocky Horor style. It was a great time and a fun, fun movie. Watch this with a huge group of like minded friends and have fun with it.

DanielM.Dec 11, 20084A geek show. It's not an artless film, and it contains interesting social commentary, but it's so buried under viscera and noise that it effectively defeats its own purpose.

-
Nov 25, 201010The music was catchy, the effects were good, the plot was unpredictable, and I was entertained the entire time. This dark-art film is truly the Rocky Horror of this generation.

Jun 9, 20118Generally, this movie is based upon the music. If you are short on cash and can only buy the soundtrack, do so. The plot is not a huge thing, but it is a very interesting concept. Much more of a dark outlook than Repo Men. If you ever want to find someone who knows this, just tell them what Zydrate comes in. Definitely not a normal movie. Whether that is good or bad is your choice.

20So over-the-top it's purple. At the same time, it's not too many lengths of intestine beyond some mainstream movies, "Sweeney Todd" being the most obvious comparison.

10The grim finality of the ensuing pietà suggests the last act of Hamlet or, rather, Hamlet 2--so embarrassing that, for the first time, I wanted to avert my eyes from the screen, although that might have also been because Repo! appears to have been shot with a cell phone.
