Catch a late night showing of "Repo! The Genetic Opera"

REPO! The Genetic Opera continues to carve its way into the hearts of the world. Rabid REPO! fans nationwide are insistent on their local theatres giving a home to the film. The constant outpouring of requests is causing REPO! to stake its claim in the after-hours cult cinema subculture, becoming a permanent member of the midnight movies phenomenon. New theatres are signing on to host the sci-fi rock opera in several cities across the country for special late-night weekend features.

From coast to coast, fans are piling into theatres and joining forces. Not only as voyeurs, but as exhibitionists, bringing the film to life by performing the scenes, singing the songs and costuming themselves in REPO! fashion. Why watch REPO! at home alone when you can be a part of an event and a community?

“Repo is fun, and it's fantasy. It's filled with so many characters that at least one has to appeal to the individual viewer, be it the morally torn father or the rockstar ‘Zydrate’ peddler. It’s another world filled with indulgent excess, moral dilemmas, and rock music. Moreover, the people involved are a blast.” - Shanna Edwards, of Chicago's 90 Day Delinquents shadowcast crew on why REPO! keeps drawing new fans.

Bill Moseley elates, "Getting 'Repo!' in front of the public has been like strapping banana peels to your feet and carrying nitro down the side of that black glass pyramid in Vegas!"

REPO! The Genetic Opera is in stores and available on DVD and Blu-Ray NOW.

REPO! The Genetic Opera: In the no-so-distant future, a worldwide 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 THE REPO MAN. By fusing ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and BLADE RUNNER, this futuristic tale of horror modernizes the "rock opera" genre with original music and rich, dark production design.

This rock opera boasts an entirely original soundtrack that blends equal parts goth and punk rock to form an eerie and powerful musical narrative and features vocal performances by an amazing cast; Paris Hilton, Bill Moseley, Sarah Brightman, Anthony Stewart Head, Alexa Vega, Paul Sorvino, Ohgr and more. Instrumentals and score provided by an all-star lineup that features performances from Joan Jett( who cameos in the film), Richard Patrick (Filter), Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction), Clown (Slipknot), Ray Luzier (Army of Anyone), Brian Young (David Lee Roth's band), Sonny Moore (From First to Last), Richard Fortus (Guns & Roses), David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), Daniel Ash (Love & Rockets), Blasko (Ozzy Osbourne), Tommy Clefetus (Rob Zombie's band), Melora Creager (Rasputina). Also lending her voice to the soundtrack is the edgy pop star Poe.
