Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

The first time I watched Repo I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The second time I watched it I began to like it for its uncompromising bat-shit craziness. With each subsequent viewing I fell even more hopelessly in love with it for the same reasons as the first and second time.
It’s the visual equivalent of a blood-soaked comic book found on the corpse of a Goth, post-car crash, lying by the roadside, found and filmed by a Terry Gilliam fan on his way to a Rocky Horror theatre production. It's a rock opera about... and... with... yea, that too. The trailer can do the work.
