Repo! The Genetic Opera

There's been some talk over the last few weeks of a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. As a big RH fan, my question was: what on earth for? Like it or loathe it, I'm not sure the original could be improved in any way with a remake. That's kind of like threatening to remake The Sound Of Music with Rhiannon.

But if you're looking for an updated camp gothic horror musical, it seems you may be rewarded much sooner by Repo! The Genetic Opera, clip embedded above.

As I started to watch this, and knowing that I was about to see Paris Hilton vamp it up in gothic underwear, I so wanted to hate this. And I kinda... didn't. Which is worrying - could this actually be good? (By good, I don't mean Paul Thomas Anderson good, but maybe poor man's Baz Luhrmann good?)
