Memorable, crazy movie
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
View MoreAre you a man who wears eyeliner and fishnet shirts? Do you like listening to Nightwish? Have you ever described yourself as polyamorous? Say no more. This is your movie.To the rest of us we will just have to sit back and not understand the deeper meanings and seamless continuity of this higher form of art. As a movie it cannot stand on its own and if you heard the music by itself a grimace and a quick change of the radio station would follow. When blended together the audience is met with a unreasonably painful experience. One that will leave the viewer uncomfortable and embarrassed for weeks.To those viewers who chose this movie while partaking of a Paris Hiltonathon: The going is tough, but you have worse ahead of you still.
View MoreI watched this movie late one evening, and had no idea what I was in for! This is like a big mash of rock musical, Broadway play, and "Halloween Horror Nights" event. It's a delight (and sometimes fright) for the eyes. I've just never experienced any thing like this. This is certainly not for the squeamish, but at the same time, it's campy and cheesy, so it's not realistic. Very over the top and unforgettable!What I liked: The whole form of this movie is something to gush over. The way it looks, the costumes, the cheese factor. It's something that you just have to see to believe. The cast was very good in their roles, and sing well. Alexa (Pena)Vega is quite an enjoyable screen presence, miles away from the "Spy Kid" she used to be. What a wonderful actress she is! This is a great film to get you in the mood for the Halloween season. Artistic, creative, and crazy-fun!What I disliked: Very little. I know I sound biased, but movies just don't come around like this very often. The gore sometimes, though fake looking, at least once made me turn my head away from the screen. It really doesn't look real, though, and wasn't enough to keep me from watching the rest of the movie. Otherwise, I've heard complaints that the music isn't memorable, and I suppose I can't remember any of the songs, but the visuals maybe are more memorable, in the end. Overall: This movie is a wonderful, out-of-this-world experience. It's the kind of thing to be seen and not just talked about. For those that can't handle horror, I suppose if you're willing to cover you're eyes during some parts, you'll be fine. It's really something more people should have seen, but I think future generations will discover this and enjoy it. 8/10
View MoreSo, my sister and I got recommended this movie from an acquaintance and we were like okay let's check it out. wow, what a movie this is. Now, this has to be one of the most weirdest movies I have ever seen in my life ever!!! I'm serious! But it is weird and unique in it's own way and I love that it doesn't apologize for it. I love that it's a musical and the songs and talent in this movie are amazing! I feel like this movie is an experience and I wish I would've seen it in the theatre. I will always love this movie and love the songs in it and it is a movie that will always be a classic to me.
View MoreI'll say what I have yet to see in comments. Lion's gate only placed this in limited theaters, and they were wrong to do so. The sheer concept behind this movie was so fresh, and the intrigue so compelling. The budget alone to make this movie should have demanded that it open theater wide. Yet, Lion's Gate fell through and the possible fans that it should have had were lost. Fans join together and make new fans of the movie.The only thing that Lion's Gate should do is give the rights to Terrance Zdunich and /Darren Lynn Bousman. I know the Repo Army would be there with bells on, just like we are there for The Devil's Carnival!
