The Devil's Carnival



I did not expect to like this so much...
I discovered this movie on Netflix when I was looking for something in Horror that I hadn't already watched. I watched it not knowing anything about it other than the blurb, which didn't make it sound all that great, but I have a soft spot for lame horror movies so I figured I'd give it a shot. I had never heard of Repo! The Genetic Opera until I looked this movie up to see if there were more like it. I was completely unprepared for how cool this turned out to be and how much I was going to love it. I immediately bought the sound track because I couldn't get the songs out of my head, and then I bought the digital copy here, and then I ordered the fancy super "Ringmaster" special edition from the creators' website because I really want to support them making more episodes.

I do not write many reviews and if I'm right, this is the first movie review. This movie is not for the shallow. It's beyond deep in many ways. The talent is incredible. There will be some faces you recognize and a few new ones for some people. Pay close attention or you may miss something. So many stories. Some have razors, some have keys...

The rocky Horror Picture Show had a message and drew a lions share of attention for many years. The Devils Carnival has many, if you stay alert! The fact that there are only a handful of reviews is sad. I can only imagine that there are many fans of this movie who just don't write reviews. I bought the movie on a whim. I bought the soundtrack the next day. The Devil's Carnival

What I want to know is... where is that list of rules?

Well worth the time and money. Also highly recommended would be...
