This is by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is not as bad as Intolerable Cruelty but the plot is awful, the singing is awful and the acting is awful. It is just a trifecta of awful. The only thing that makes this movie even remotely watchable is the fact that Alexa Vega from Spy Kids fame is in it and it makes you reminisce about the good old days when she was in good kids movies and not total crap. The second redeeming quality is the Grave-robber character for it brings some comedy and he just looks cool. Albeit he brings nothing to the movie and I am still trying to figure out why he was even in the movie. WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! The story begins in the not so distant future after an organ failure epidemic almost killed humanity and was only saved by Rotti Largo who created Genco which sells organs to the public. If they can’t afford it he finances the organ but if they fall behind on their payments Largo sends out the Repo man to repossess their organ. It also follows 17 year old Shilo Wallace (Alexa Vega) who has a blood disorder which makes her have to stay locked in her room. Her father has kept her secluded ever since he killed his wife on accident when she was pregnant and chose to save Shilo instead of her mother. As the movie goes on it becomes evident that it was Largo who had poisoned Shilo’s mother in order to get revenge and get Shilo’s father to become his Repo Man. Largo finds out he is dying and wants to leave his fortune to Shilo instead of his three children. This just adds another horrible dynamic to the picture as one of his children is played by Paris Hilton of all people and she is awful. Being that this is supposed to be a genetic opera, there is quite a bit of singing but the songs are awful. The only somewhat good song is sung by, you guessed it, the Grave-robber and it’s even titled Grave-robber. There also an absurd amount of blood and guts, literally, that is totally unnecessary. The Repo man goes around repossessing organs but decides to do it while the people are still alive so they die of blood loss or having their hearts removed from their bodies. Also one of Largo’s children has a vicious temper which causes him to just randomly kill people, and instead of quick deaths, we get to see a nurse bleed out in front of us while the cast sings about gaining control of the company. I am only scratching the surface as to how bad this movie really is so my recommendation is, do not see this movie. I was told to see it because it was so bad it was good which is impossible.
