("Didn't I tell you not to go out?" Wallace bellows at his sheltered daughter, in response to which she warbles, "You did! You did!") The picture runs just 98 minutes, but it already feels too long three-quarters of the way in. What could Sorvino have been thinking as he blustered through the din, trailed by a long gray ponytail, belting out lyrics like "Maggots, vermin - you want the world for nothing!" And how did actual singer Sarah Brightman - Andrew Lloyd Webber's onetime wife and muse - feel about being tricked out as some sort of pop-eyed Elvira puppet? The songs aren't uniformly dreadful - one of them, "Seventeen," is a lively arena-punk anthem that Vega delivers with near Avril Lavigne-level energy - but the tunes are largely formless, and many of the lyrics have the flat quality of words that should have been simply spoken, not sung. What really startles are some of the unexpected performers lunging around in the murk. Thirty years after "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," there's nothing shocking about the third-hand decadence on display here. Instead, he wants to bequeath his empire to Wallace's daughter, Shiloh ( Alexa Vega, of the "Spy Kids" films), because her late mother was, as he sings in a characteristically tuneless interlude, "once very dear to me." The plot thickens like a week-old blood pudding. Largo is terminally ill, and determined not to let his lucrative organ business pass into the hands of his good-for-nothing children (one of them played by Skinny Puppy frontman Ogre another, with unwarranted enthusiasm, by Paris Hilton). One of them is secretly a doctor named Nathan Wallace ( Anthony Head, of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" TV series), who's been forced into this vile sideline by Geneco founder Rotti Largo ( Paul Sorvino). The scalpel-wielding characters who carry out these grisly interventions are called repo men. As the winning bidder, you will collect annual payments until you receive the fixed amount of 1,184,691.82 ('Total Return'). Up for bid are the film proceeds generated from the 2008 cult-classic feature film Repo The Genetic Opera. It's set in a post-apocalyptic world in which millions have died in an epidemic of organ failures, and a biotech company called Geneco has arisen to sell transplantable organs to needy survivors - and to repossess the pricey innards whenever the owners fall behind in their payments. This is a compelling investment case coupled with a rare income stream on the Royalty Exchange platform. Nathan Wallace: Dear Marni, I'm so sorry.The movie has metastasized from a 2002 stage play written by Zdunich and Smith and directed by Bousman. Nathan Wallace: I should stay here for a while. Shilo Wallace: You should stay there for a while. Nathan Wallace: Oh that's one of my patients.
Nathan Wallace: I could be there in no time. Nathan Wallace: Then why aren't you wearing your mask? Should I head back?
Nathan Wallace: Did you take your medicine?
