it was good musically speaking but the only GOOD actors in this were of Paul Sorvino, Alexa Vega, the graverobber dude and dare i say it paris hilton, i love the concept but hate the 3 supporting male characters Pavi, Luigi and the Repoman (i only reffer to their character names because idk their real ones)..... Sarah Brightman's performance was to die for i wish she had more lines though....... great gore scenes if you want something for a rainy night this would do it. <3<3meh<3<3

Not quite up to par for me on this one. Great concept, but the musical aspect wasnt strong enough - except for Brightman of course. Sets and costuming were excellent and an unlikely Hilton does a good job in a support role - who knew! Acting was solid from all actors, but the score let them down.

Fantastic cult musical. WARNING: definitely not for the squeamish, or anyone not a huge fan of musicals. Not everyone is going to like this, which is obvious from the reviews, but if you don't mind a tongue-in-cheek musical horror film, this is just the right pick for you!

I admit to hiring this only because Paris Hilton is in it. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have bothered. Within minutes I mentally switched off. Explains why I did the dishes and am typing this review while the movie is still playing in another room. It's quite dark, a little gruesome. I probably should have hired Rocky Horror instead. Might play a bit of Angry Birds while half paying attention to the rest of the movie.

this was the stupidest thing I have ever tried to sit down and watch. I barely got ten minutes in. Do not waste your time with this drivel

Amazing film! Visually compelling and great music. Worth watching and bound to be a great cult classic.

This film could have been better if they simply accepted that some dialogue would be better spoken instead of sung. However, it's a really ambitious flick, and while it feels a little flat at times, some of the 'show' numbers are just bloody fantastic. Even Paris Hilton, as a drug and surgery addicted tramp, does a surprisingly good job. In short, it's twisted, a bit gory, thoroughly over the top, and the music is a bit hit and miss. While it did drag a bit, it was still pretty damn entertaining.

This could have been really good; there are flashes of Rocky Horror, touches of Bladerunner, moments of Sin City. Sadly it is also excrutiatingly bad and the music is in the main just awful, so much so that while I toughed this out as long as I could I did not actually finish it (which is very unlike me).

I cant belive how boring this film is. I have never really been a fan of musicals except Grease but I grew up with that and loved the songs but this pile of poop feels like Darryn Lynn Bousan's revenge on Saw being popular which is stupid as he started the series in the 1st place. Barely no storyine, Top class actors wasted and wait till you hear Paris Hilton sing. You would be stuffing steel pins into your ears as her singing is far worse then her acting if thats humanly possible. Best to let the muscial fans reveiw this properly as ok there is decent blood and gore but the film would had worked as simply a str8 horror film as it is, its a sick joke. One of the worst movies ever. This film was pure torture and I switched it after 30 mins.
