Repo: The Genetic Opera
In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men.
In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera. With Paul Sorvino, Anthony Head, Alex Vega, Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton.
"The lowbrow and highfalutin' collide in an orgy of upscale disembowelment as director Darren Lynn Bousman gives uneasy birth to the gore opera." (The Georgia Straight)

REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA (Darren Lynn Bousman, 2009 / 98 mins / 18A) A worldwide epidemic encourages a biotech company to launch an organ-financing program similar in nature to a standard car loan. The repossession clause is a killer, however.
