All that means is that I was unfamiliar with the characters, story and songs before seeing the film, and was no more interested in them afterward.

While I am fairly certain that at some point I've made a purchase from one of those teen-targeting mall stores that stock the full line of Manic Panic hair products, Korn t-shirts and Nightmare Before Christmas knick-knacks, I am in no way the target audience for Repo!.

Before long, Shilo, her father and the Rottis converge upon the annual staging of The Genetic Opera, where longstanding grudges and unresolved conflicts come bubbling to the surface at the same time that the world's pre-eminent entertainment event unfolds in front of the world populace. Meanwhile, a sheltered young girl named Shilo Wallace (Alexa Vega) escapes from the imprisonment of her father Nathan's (Anthony Stewart Head) palatial estate, only to uncover a sordid, blood-stained trail of deceit, betrayal and death that binds her family to the Rottis. After decades in charge of GeneCo, CEO Rotti Largo (Paul Sorvino) announces that he is stepping down due to health reasons, leaving his empire to be divided among his three children Luigi (Bill Moseley), Pavi (Ogre) and Amber Sweet (Paris Hilton) – each of whom is unsuitable to take over the reins for various reasons.

The only catch is that GeneCo reserves the right to repossess these organs if recipients don't make their payments, and enlists Repo Men to retrieve the used body parts. The film takes place in the not-so-distant future, where a corporation named GeneCo has revolutionized the healthcare system by offering widespread transplants after an epidemic of organ failures threatens the world's populations.
