Phantom of the Paradise

Songwriter, Winslow, is double crossed by the worlds hottest record producer, Swan, then badly scarred and presumed killed while attempting to get revenge. Returning as a masked 'Phantom' to ruin Swan's new club / theatre, Winslow sets about making sure no one but Phoenix (Jessica Harper), will ever sing the music that Swan has stolen from him.

It's not long though, before he is tempted into making a deal with Swan, and signing a contract that will cost him far more than he bargained for, as there is more to Swan than the world knows...
Phantom of The Opera, meets Faust, Rocky Horror style (and there's another classic of English literature in there for good measure too, but to name it would be to give a spoiler) in a 70's rock musical satire of the music industry.

Repo! The Genetic Opera

In 2009, I didn't review movies, so much as briefly recomend a few via my Facebook account, This was one of them...

Another great film shat all over by the distributors – This time a labour of love from the producers of ‘Saw’, based on a stage show.
