Product Description:
Acclaimed director Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case, Brain Damage, Frankenhooker) is back with a twisted tale of love and weirdness. Driven by biological excess, a young man and woman search for sexual fulfillment, unaware of each other's existence. Unfortunately, they eventually meet, and the bonding of these two very unusual human beings ends in an explosive and ultimately over-the-top sexual experience, resulting in a truly god-awful love story.... With bizarre special effects by Gabe Bartalos, a hip-hop soundtrack from Prince Paul, and shot in glorious 35mm, Bad Biology is guaranteed to shock even the most desensitized of audiences, and sure to become a modern cult classic.

Let me preface this review - Bad Biology is not a film for everyone. It is a completely insane plot and the production values are not exactly sky-high.
The director is known for creating cult, over the top movies, and he doesn't disappoint here. The opening scene is the female lead explaining to us how she was born with 7 (at least) clits. It moves forward from there. I just couldn't stop watching. It was so insane that we had to see what would happen next. Also, if you are a dude, you will enjoy the plethora of boobs sprinkled liberally throughout the experience.
This is a good one to rent if you are in the mood for something different. Believe me, you'll get something different!

Bwa ha ha -- the master of the midnight movie is back, after far too long an absence from the scene, with what one might actually accept as the ultimate "grrl power" flick.
But acceptance is not Henenlotter's purpose here. His aim as usual is to entertain, shock, and amuse, and he attains his goals on his accustomed shoe-string budget.
Indeed, part of the fun of this DVD is listening to the commentary, in which the outre auteur and his young white-boy-rapper producer describe the guerilla movie-making techniques they employed to realize this bizarre sexual fantasy. The fact that they accidentally set fire to the 150-year-old mansion they rented for a whopping $4,000 as the film's primary location -- and then extinguished the flame with diet soda -- gives you some clue that this was not a normal shoot!
And then there are the purple-hued "penis-cam" shots...
Suffice it to say that if you enjoy "Something Weird" videos, you will likely enjoy this film, which also features one of the most tragic "happy endings" you will ever see.
As the director says on the commentary, at the consummation of this unusual love story, "Now there's something you don't see every day." That's what makes this film -- and Henenlotter himself -- so special...

This is a sick, and twisted movie is why it's great.I'll try not to be graphic. We get a female with to munch, and a male that's alive. This is a movie that goes beyond. I wish I could give out more detail, but can't. The story ,and the fx are great for a low-budget film. This movie is for people with a good sense of humor,and into low-budget films. Definite better then any Hollywood CGI crap. We also get a special appearance by the great Miss Bevery Bonner who's Casey in the first Basket Case, and appears in most of Frank's films.

I anxiously awaited the release of Frank Henenlotter's new opus BAD BIOLOGY. After all, his BASKET CASE, BRAIN DAMAGE, and FRANKENHOOKER are master works and three of the funniest movies ever. They are films that work on several levels. Entertaining from start to finish, they're imaginative, extremely well written, edgy, and have underlying, serious themes explored intelligently. BASKET CASE examines alienation in society and within families. BRAIN DAMAGE is a hard look at the horrors of drug addiction. FRANKENHOOKER touches on losing a loved one early in life.
I even love the liner notes Mr. Henenlotter wrote for his Special Edition series released on Something Weird Video. It's obvious as well that he's probably one of the nicest guys in show business.
BAD BIOLOGY, like the others, is professionally-made on a small budget. However, its content is thoroughly ugly and unfunny. There's no compassion shown for the leads, and no wit to speak of. The best moments are but brief and pale imitations of the earlier movies. Even the climax is dull viewing. I'm inclined to place all the blame for this confused mess on producer and co-writer R.A. Thorburn. His god-awful rap-video, included on the dvd, has him throwing gallons of his fecal matter on a lovely nude woman. That he thinks it's entertaining is depraved. It doesn't even have shock value. It just disgusts, and mostly conveys he has no musical sensibility whatsoever.
I suppose I'm predjudiced because I didn't like Mr. Thorburn much the first time I saw him, revisiting locations with Mr. Henenlotter on the Special Edition of BASKET CASE.
I imagine the movie couldn't have been made without Thorburn's financial contribution. It's a shame he didn't simply choose to be a silent partner and leave Frank alone to do what he does better than anyone else. A great opportunity has been wasted.

________________________________________________________________________
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.
