Directed by camp cult director Richard Elfman, Forbidden Zone is like an offensive and outrageously bizarre live action Max Fleischer cartoon. Filled with racism, sexism, domestic abuse, school shoot-ups, drug use and rape, it's all stitched together with zany Cab Calloway-esque musical numbers courtesy of Danny Elfman & Oingo Boingo.
The acting, editing, story and direction is terrible yet strangely alluring. Like a shoestring budget train wreck, one can't help but continue watching until the end.

Honestly I had a hard time getting through this one even though it's only 73 minutes long.
The inanity involved was overpowering. Every single character is more bizarre than the last. I found it extremely creative and the music fun and catchy but I was relieved when it was over.
But I do see what you were talking about with the creators of Repo! probably having seen this way too much.

If shit-shooters ever made a musical it'd probably be a lot like this.
It's not very good, terribly unfocused and makes you feel dirty all over. XD
Have you seen Devil's Carnival yet?
That's even more like this than Repo! is.
I plan on seeing DC as soon as it becomes available on Netflix.
