Its written and composed by Terrance Zdunich and Darren Smith, and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (of Film/SawII, Film/SawIII III and III, Film/SawIV IV and Film/Spiral2021 fame). Ultimately, the most imaginative aspect of the film is the casting, which brings together such disparate performers as the theater veteran Sorvino, the tabloid queen Hilton, the operatic pop star Brightman, the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum Head and the goth band veteran Ogre to truly surreal effect.Ĭast: Anthony Stewart Head, Alexa Vega, Paul Sorvino, Terrance Zdunich, Bill Moseley, Ogre, Paris Hilton, Sarah Brightman. The Genetic Opera is a 2008 rock opera/cult film. Much like Bousman’s “Saw” films, the sepia-toned visuals are drearily muddy, though the outlandish costumes and make-up provide some visual distractions. The sung-through musical score somehow manages to contain not a single memorable song, though the performers give it their undeniable all. Other characters in the gothic proceedings include Nathan’s sweethearted daughter Shiloh (Alexa Vega), afflicted with a rare disease Rotti’s demonic sons (Ogre, of the band Skinny Puppy, and Bill Moseley) and cosmetic surgery-addicted daughter (Paris Hilton, in an example of futuristic typecasting) a blind opera singer (Sarah Brightman) and a colorful grave robber (co-writer Terrance Zdunich).
