Go See This Movie!!!

Repo! The Genetic Opera

I just saw this movie at a free screening presented by my university's program board and since I am a total nerd, I already knew some of the songs and was one of the people whom Darren (yes, he was there) encouraged to sing as loud as possible along with the characters in the film.

Right from the beginning, you can tell that this is not going to be like any other movie that you've seen before. As Darren said during his Q&A session after the screening, this was more of a passion project for him as he is trying to do things outside of the horror genre now.

The point was to make a weird movie with a "wtf?" cast, which is exactly what I feel has been accomplished here.

Due to the lack of a marketing budget, it is up to the fans to spread the word, which is exactly what we were all told to do: talk about the movie, whether you liked it or absolutely hated it, as long as word about it got around.

I was even the only one fortunate enough to get a personalized message on my poster when Darren signed it, "go on imdb!" Look what I did. I'm finally actually putting my account on here to good use.

It's so worth it. =]
