Dark and satisfying

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2015)

I'm normally not a fan of Johnny Depp. I hated his performance as Willy Wonka and as Jack Sparrow but this role was well played. I was hesitant to watch this movie at all but I'm glad I finally did. I had gotten recommendations of this film from people when I told them I liked Repo! The Genetic Opera because it's a similar genre mix. It's mostly a musical drama with elements of "horror". It's definitely not a blood and guts film meant to scare anyone unless you're unaware of how bad human society is. I feel there's a lot of honesty in this film philosophically. The only thing that's not perfect about this film is how the music doesn't match up with the vocals in some of the songs. It's kind of strange but if you can get past that you'll surely enjoy it.
