2.0 out of 5 stars it was different..., October 25, 2011

I know this is a low budget movie but...

The acting is rather bland. Some of the actors seem bored with their role. Also the scene with the three teenagers (two female, one male) speaking about how large they are/like it to be is rather...well the acting is so bad it really should have been left out. The first half of the movie is rather slow considering it shows one sexual encounter after another until the two main characters meet.

The movie does show some interesting techniques to ummm deal with the main characters' issues but aside from a few of those we found rather funny (and I am not sure they were ment to be funny) that was pretty much all we got out of it. So we gave it one star for the humor and the other star was for the view from her vagina. That was indeed a first for us.

We watched it and it wasn't something we enjoyed enough to watch again. I would rather watch Someone's Knocking at the Door again.

WARNING--This movie contains violence, nudity, and very absurd sexual situations. It is intended to shock even the most jaded of viewers. Proceed with caution.
________________________________________________________________________

Director Frank Henenlotter always walks the fine line between psychedelic brilliant freak show extraordinaire and abhorrent immature smut peddlin' freak. With bizarre little gems like Basket Case, Brain Damage, and Frankenhooker, he always keeps you off balance. And here with Bad Biology, he pushes you completely over the edge. This has got to be his craziest stuff yet.

Jennifer is born with a gift (or curse) from God--some extra sweet spots below the belt. 7 of 'em, in fact. This caused her to start menstrating at age 5, and currently makes her reproductive organs function at an accelerated rate. Plus she suffers from ESAS (Extreme Sexual Arousal Syndrome). Her crazy libido nearly controls her every action, and this heightened sexuality often turns deadly for her bedroom partners. She gets a little too crazy-hot-excited, to put it mildly. And to top it all off, she frequently gives a quick birth to some mutated monster babies, which she quickly discards in the nearby trash. Sheesh!

Next we have Bax, a man with some private problems of his own. On the day he was born, the doctor made a horrible mistake when attempting to cut off his umbilical cord. Ouch! Bax got stitched up, but had problems functioning when he got older. So he decided to inject steroids and some growth hormones, and the problem expanded out of control. So he is toting around a monster with a mind of its own, in which he constantly has to search for the proper prescription (and non-prescription) drugs to appease this thing. Double Sheesh!

I know, this story is completely ridiculous. It gets even worse when the two hookup. But before that special outrageous love connection is made, another huge disaster occurs. I better stop here, I don't wanna spoil it for the one guy who is actually thinking about watching this movie.

Just classic Henenlotter. Low budget, bizarre, and spewing with raunchy creativity. Hilarious stuff. Recommended for demented B-movie fans only.

"Body Horror" is a sub genre in the Horror scene that usually involves some terrifying alteration to a victim's body. These type of films have equal measures of psychological and physical trauma. The undeniable master of this genre is arguably David Cronenberg. Maybe even some of Brian Yuzna's movies too.

In terms of my rating, BAD BIOLOGY is more like a three and a half star film. On one hand it's probably the most bizarre, strange and off putting Horror film (can it be called that?) to come out in the past ten or fifteen years. On the other hand, it might also be one of the most God awful movies to ever be made in the history of cinema. Which, in a way, is what this movie is striving for in the first place. Director Frank Henenlotter (BASKET CASE, FRANKENHOOKER and BRAIN DAMAGE) is notorious for his outlandish and over the top movies from the 1980's and early 1990's. His last film BASKETCASE 3 : THE PROGENY was made in 1992, so that should give you an idea of how long it's been since he directed a Horror movie.

After watching BAD BIOLOGY, I think it's safe to say that he hasn't lost his touch for creating abominations on film. Which is a good thing. Back in the day, my Brother and I would watch a multitude of Horror movies, Henenlotter's included. I wasn't a huge fan of his work but I've always enjoyed the first BASKETCASE and BRAIN DAMAGE. His other movie FRANKENHOOKER was definitely over the top, but it ended up being really funny. Henenlotter seems to have a knack for creating interesting and likeable characters. Which happens to be one of the more stronger aspects of BAD BIOLOGY. Funny characters and fast paced writing.

First of all, I'm going to say this film isn't for everybody. Honestly, I don't even know how to go about this review considering the explicit sexual material in the plot. BAD BIOLOGY is so weird and off putting that even the most hardened of Horror fans will find some scenes uncomfortable to sit through. This movie isn't for the uninitiated. So if you haven't at least seen DEAD ALIVE, THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE or any TROMA film for that matter, you're better off starting with something a little less disgusting.

BAD BIOLOGY is about two mutant people (who look otherwise normal with their clothes on) trying to find a perfect mate for their over the top sex drives. These two individuals have no idea about each other existence but eventually meet. Jennifer is a young photographer who happens to have a bit of a problem. She has multiple *ahem* "woman parts" we'll call them (some of which seem to be alive!), and it drives her physically insane. No guy seems to be able to satisfy her and when she does have sex with someone, Jenn ends up killing them through her violent spasming. After a couple of hours, she quickly gives birth to a mutant baby, which she heartlessly either leaves behind or throws into the garbage. Considering what they look like, I can't say that I blame her.

Meanwhile, some guy named "Batz" (is that even a real name?) also has a problem, his being *ahem* rather large in size. Batz has a crotch with a mind of it's own. Literally. His mutant "friend" (which kinda' draws parallels to Henenlotter's BASKETCASE movies) is always bugging him to find a mate, despite the fact this usually leaves his victims in a catatonic, dream like state of never ending (and somewhat painful by the looks of it) ecstasy.

These two freaks of nature go on for the rest of the movie, having sex with people and killing them in awful ways. Jennifer keeps on squirting out mutant creatures in the process, while Batz purchases animal tranquilizers to keep his problem subdued. Which doesn't seem to help considering his crotch can detach itself and hunt women on it's own. Talk about gross and strange. Eventually their paths cross and it seems like they're a perfect match for one another. Needless to say, their mating has a grotesque consequence all on it's own. I won't go into details about it but I will say that it's both disgusting and rediculous all at the same time. Which can be a good thing depending on how you look at it.

BAD BIOLOGY is truly an original piece of work. I won't say that it isn't without it's problems (there are some pacing issues and a few subplots are kinda' just left hanging) but it is an enjoyable "Cult" Horror movie. I really liked how the two main characters seemed very "alien" compared to the people around them. They were monsters without visually being monsters. Mentally, they were troubled beyond belief! Jennifer was indifferent about the human men she killed, where as Batz seemed like the victim of his mutant problem. These elements are classic aspects of Henenlotter's directing style if you ask me.

One thing I didn't like about the SHRIEK SHOW release of this DVD was how bad the sound quality is. Sometimes you can bearly hear what the actors are saying, so you crank up the volume, only to lower it again when a crushingly loud scene comes screaming back on the screen. It's pretty annoying if you ask me. Nice work, whoever did the sound mixing. Better luck next time.

Gore Hounds, there's enough death and strange animatronic human appendages to weird out any scrutinizing Horror fan. It's not the bloodiest movie ever made but it just might be the grossest! In a lot of ways BAD BIOLOGY reminds me of David Cronenberg's movies (VIDEODROME, RABID and THE FLY) although this is a lot more silly, mixed with a bit of LEGEND OF THE OVERFIEND to boot. It's a strange combination but if you enjoy this sort of thing, I'm sure you'll love BAD BIOLOGY. It's the perfect movie to show a group of people (those who can handle offensive subject matter anyways) at a Horror movie party.

So bust out your copy of BAD BIOLOGY, play it on a huge flat screen TV and pass the beers around! For some people it's going to take a lot of alcohol to get through this one! For anyone who's seen a TROMA film in their life, you know what to expect. Either way, it's better than watching the same old junk played time and time again! For those of you looking for another "old school" classic (HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13TH, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) or a serious "throw back", you better look elsewhere! This is just a strange movie, with a low budget and nothing more. You either get this kind of stuff or you don't.

I've said my bit.

Over and out.
