Summary
In a dystopian future ravaged by an epidemic of organ failures, a biotech company called GeneCo offers life-saving transplants on payment plans, sending Repo Men to violently reclaim organs from those who default. Shilo, a sheltered teenager with a rare blood disease, sneaks out to investigate her late mother's past and is drawn into the orbit of GeneCo's twisted founder Rotti Largo and his dysfunctional heirs.
Released in 2008, Repo! The Genetic Opera is a horror, musical and science-fiction film.
The calibrated figure is built from 168 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 179 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 2,354 of whom clear the calibration test.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Repo! The Genetic Opera lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 168.
