"lighten up" they will say. but can anybody tell me why these flicks are fun. slashers are in the same league as torture porn. at least to me. rant over and yea this director is pretty mediocre, repo! as crappy as it was, it was very original. the set designs were great, and a lot of love and time went into it. just not the best execution. i never will understand our fascination with these slasher films, especially the 80s genre gore flicks. i mean i like my horror other worldly, there are enough real psychos out there killing folk. i read the synopsis like..again, women being killed and raped by phycho killers and it sounds like fun. lol damn.

The thing you said about Repo! the Genetic Opera is a bit untrue, while it wasn’t a huge success it’s still being played at theatres today and it really does have a cult following. The movie made more money in the few theatres it was released in then the #1 movie of the week. While it was panned by the mainstream critics, people to the left really adored it. While it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, some left field people still hated it but they all were in agreement that it was something new and fresh. I'm assuming you haven't even seen Repo! the Genetic Opera... You should. Even if you hate it, it is really great to watch. It could have used 30 extra minutes and another 5 million to its budget but they really did create something amazing. You also said no one believed in it, that isn’t entirely true. They basically had no idea how to promote it. Really, how do you promote a rock opera about organ repossession starring Paris Hilton and Sarah Brightman?! All the promotion was done by Darren himself and Terrance Zdunichand Darren Smith (the two creators of Repo!) and what they did is really quite remarkable. Darren may not have proved himself yet as a great director but he really has a passion and he is devoted to his projects. He puts 150% in. Have a bit of faith; I think he is going to be one of the great horror directors of my generation.

Mother's Day, April Fools Day, Return to Horror High, etc...They're all pretty bad honestly hahaha but for it's worth, they are a lot of fun.

That storyline sounds great and could possibly be terrifying, but again...not much faith in him You’re right, it does seem like a lot of fun but the fact that he is directing….IDK…saw 4 was pretty horrid.
