The Devil’s Carnival
Terrance Zdunich and Darren Lynn Bousman considered making a sequel to Repo! the Genetic Opera but somewhere along the way, they lost the rights and a continuation is not possible. Instead of lamenting in what they could not do, these two decided to make something new that feels like Dante’s Inferno meets Aesop’s Fables but only revisited in a musical format. Instead of one person’s journey, the tale looks at three ill-fated individuals looking for redemption. Although the plots are intertwined, this movie is meant to be more of a sensory experience than a cunning narrative. In terms of style, Zdunich and Bousman are in their A-game for this genre bender, which makes this film a must catch for a dark and windy season.
