Theatres showing it sold out consistently, and between showings at film festivals and clips and music released online, Repo! has developed a cult following, with some calling it the The Rocky Horror Picture Show of the new millennium. Repo! The Genetic Opera's soundtrack, overseen by producer and X Japan drummer Yoshiki Hayashi, became available on September 30th, 2008, and the film was given a limited release of ten theatres by Lionsgate Films on November 7, 2008. For those who can't keep up with their organ payments, collection is the responsibility of organ repo men: skilled assassins contracted by GeneCo, ordered to recover GeneCo's property by any means necessary. In addition to financing options, GeneCo reserves the right to implement default remedies, including repossession. GeneCo provides organ transplantation for a profit. Out of the tragedy, GeneCo, a multi-billion dollar biotech company, emerges.

Panic erupts and scientists feverishly make plans for a massive organ harvest. In the not too distant future, an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. It's also an actual opera: nearly every line of dialogue is sung, and the story is one continuous musical number. Widely known and loved for its What The Hell, Casting Agency? (see below) and its lush soundtrack, the film has become a modern cult classic. It's a gory, dystopian and ultimately very moving Black Comedy that never takes itself too seriously. The film is based on their 2002 play of the same name. It's written and composed by Terrance Zdunich and Darren Smith, and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (of Saw II, III, IV and Spiral (2021) fame). Repo! The Genetic Opera is a 2008 rock opera/cult film.
