Recently watched "Repo! The Genetic Opera" for the first time. It's a horror-type musical film.
Summary from IMDb:
In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera.

I love musicals (some of my favorites being Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Moulin Rouge...) and I love horror movies, so putting these two movie types together was a sure win/win situation for me. It did not disappoint. I thought the movie was brilliant. A little too gore-y for my liking at some parts, but I'm glad I looked past that and made it through the movie. It was so worth it!
Also, Graverobber is sexy as fuck. Mmm.
