Repo! The Genetic Opera

Repo! The Genetic Opera is a rock opera that takes place in the not so distant future. When a pandemic of organ failure cripples the population, Genco, a company that makes genetically perfect organs saves the day by offering financing options on their organs. But if you miss a payment on your organ, Genco sends the Repoman to repossess your organ!
Its a dark story with dark music but I love it. I love the character and set design of the movie. Its set in a bleak world and surgery has become something of a fashion statement. One of the characters, Pavi, has a sick obsession with faces and throughout the movie, he replaces his own face with other faces.
It's one of my new favorite movies and it was an instant cult classic. Its got a great soundtrack, great costumes, and its pretty gory. I think its great.
