It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I had such high hopes for this movie and yet it crashed and burned. It promised a mix of elements that I love, a campy, cult, horror musical in the likes of Rocky Horror or Little Shop yet it just turned out so wrong. The one thing I did appreciate was the production design, with the detailed sets and the elaborate and spooky costumes, however, it was all lost to the catastrophe of the film. The acting was one dimensional and cringy, the editing was atrocious and repetitively pulled me out of the film, there were many useless scenes and introductions and each song sounded like it took a minute to write. Again, I really liked the concept and wish it could have worked out better.

Though I did enjoy the musical numbers that appeared in this film, I wasn't very impressed as whole. I came into this film optimistic as I had been recommended it, based upon other films that I enjoy. Some of the characters are interesting and the makeup crew that were used in this film did an amazing job! Unfortunately there wasn't much character development and it more three different short stories that didn't make much sense rather than a film as a whole.The only character we seem to get to know is Satan himself, who is shown in a better light than God which I found an interesting concept and would enjoy to see in future movies. The last short story we get shown lasted a little longer than the previous ones and I did sympathise with the characters, though again there wasn't much character development; though I do suppose it did have a rather happy ending in cliché to most films that include a horror theme.

I happen to be a huge fan of "Repo! The Genetic Opera" and when I heard Terrance Zdunich and Darren Lynn Bousman were working on a whole new Gothic horror musical I was excited. Then I watched it. Now it is one of those "wait until the end of the movie to fully understand," but so well worth it. Also it may help to watch it more than once, which since it's a cult film, it's great to do that as well. The music mixes well with the story and some of the songs are very catchy and who doesn't LOVE Terrance Zdunich's singing voice. I recommend this movie! Oh, and another good thing is a sequel is coming out soon which that movie takes place in Heaven! I can't wait!

A few years ago I was really into Emilie Autumn and I had seen Repo! around that time because of the Emilie Autumn fan group. But I really didn't pay attention to her after early 2011.I found out about a month ago that Emilie had a new album and stared in the devil's carnival, which I had heard was a great sequel to Repo!. I listened to the soundtrack even before watching the movie and adored it. I felt the songs and what I had seen of the fantastic costumes and make-up held up to my love of Repo!. But once I finally saw the movie, I was sadly underwhelmed.The concept was fascinating but it lacked a well structured storyline for each character in the carnival. I wanted more from the scorpion and I wish Emilie & The Bloody Crumpets characters had spoken parts. I just overall felt it should have been longer as well, it was too short IMHO. Maybe if it was longer the characters could have been developed better, who knows??? Still in love with the soundtrack, I'll hold that dear to me but never gonna get over how underwhelmed I was with the characters in the movie. If you love Repo! I probably wouldn't recommend watching this.
