As not everyone likes the summer blockbusters, this movie is certainly not for the masses. I think that it was a masterpiece though. It's no Avatar and it doesn't try to be. Nor is it trying to be Harry Potter. What it set out to do it did quite well though, IMO. It was financed by the financiers of Saw. It was not done by them. FWIW.

The movie really was god awful. I was harassed into watching this film by a friend (now, not so much of one) who really wanted me to watch this catastrophe. All the while, the tasteless jackass expressed how great it was. He laughed at all the really bad jokes. Thought the really half-assed barely tolerable songs were great... ... meanwhile, I was in pain. This film was nearly pure agony to watch. It was as if my brain had a billion tiny cuts, and someone was rubbing lemon juice on it. This should be used as an example of what a bad film is. It's not bad, in the campy, fun way of Rocky Horror (which had really great songs). It wasn't even Ed Wood, Plan 9 bad. (as in so hysterically bad, that you had to laugh) Repo was just bad, without any redeeming qualities. It was bad in a why that let you know that the makers of the film don't really have a clue what good actually is. I hear it was done by the same guys who do the saw films. I guess people who are into death porn would find this film amusing (if they also had no taste in music). As for the rest of us. It's not only not worth seeing. It should be actively avoided. I disagree with your review.
