This film is based off the 2002 stageplay The Necromerchant's Debt. After a world wide  epidemic of organ failures, a company (Geneco) arises with a cure. However, this cure has a repossession clause that has affected all the lives of the people involved with the company.

This film was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman. This film has been highly changed from its original stageplay. Considering how little advertised this film was it has done well among audiences. This film is a musical that is uncommon among other musicals because its a "goth rock-opera". It is, obviously, a horror film. This films story has heart mingled with its grisly violence. The heart is truly revealed at the end of the film. Its a familiar story of 'not becoming your parents and change the world' told with a twist. Every character has a history that is rapidly explained. This film isn't for all audiences, and its especially not a family friendly film. There is a lot of gore and nudity in the film. The songs are unique for a musical, and again is not for everyone. The music plays to a rock-n-roll/goth audience. The backdrop is uniquely chaotic and very dark. The costumes add to the goth feel of the environment.

The cast worked great together. Alexa Vega played the role of Shilo Wallace. She was great in her role. She gave an innocent look to the rebellious teenager. Anthony Head (Anthony Stewart Head) played the role of Nathan Wallace/Repo Man. He was great in his familiar role. He created a conflicted father and made a terrific monster. Paul Sorvino played the role of Rotti Largo. He was great in his role. He created a great villain in comparison to Head's character. Sarah Brightman played the role of Blind Mag. She was great in her role and provided a great operatic voice for the film. Paris Hilton played the role of Amber Sweet (Largo). She was good in her role playing... well... herself. Bill Moseley played the role of Luigi Largo. He was good in his limited role. (Nivek) Ogre played the role of Pavi Largo. He was good in his limited role. Terrance Zdunich played the role of the Graverobber. He was great in his narrator role.

I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! Admittedly, I'm a fan of horror a goth films. I enjoyed this unique take on musicals and horror films.
