Story: The story follows Charlee Danielson (that's the allegedly actress' name, not the character's name, fyi) and Anthony Sneed, a guy and girl who are sexually enhanced at the biological level. The story follows their attempts to fit into society with their physical problems and their search for sexually compatible partners that don't die immediately after the experience.I have to give Henelotter, who wrote and directed this movie, props for coming up with an intriguing story. The statements made through this movie about how sex is treated in society are fairly valid, and the humor is extremely morbid and over the top. This movie is in a similar vein to Teeth, but goes much, much further, which is also its dividing point. I know many people who couldn't sit through Teeth, and they don't have a chance with this movie. B Acting: The acting isn't bad, as I've certainly seen much, much worse in the B-horror scene. It should be noted that this movie employs several porn actors and actresses, probably because of the sheer quantity of sex in this movie, and none of it is implied: We see everything. But, the two main players get the job done well. Props to both. B Direction: I understand that Frank Henenlotter has a very close following and that his movies are typically strange, but this is the first movie of his that I've seen. I spent of the movie laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of what I was seeing, and I hope that's what I was supposed to be doing. If so, then he accomplished his job. Additionally, the movie made me feel damn uncomfortable watching it, and I would never, ever watch this with my mother. Again, he was probably going for shock value, and I can't fault him for that, but I do think it will be too much for most mainstream movie fans and probably even most casual horror fans. C Visuals: I've seen pornographic movies with just about the same quantity of sex and nudity as can be found in this movie. There are nude males and nude females. And, (SPOILER ALERT) there's also a giant monster penis in this movie. It's stop animated. We get to see lots of it. Close ups, wide shots, point of view shots, all different views of of the giant penis monster. If you're not okay with that, then you shouldn't watch this movie. If you're okay with it or intrigued by it, then this movie is for you. (SPOILERS OVER, YOU MAY OPEN YOUR EYES) B Overall: Based on the grades I'm giving each segment of this movie, you'd probably think that I liked it, right? Well, not really. It did what it set out to do, and I commend it for that. The sheer audacity of making a movie like this has earned this writer/director my respect, and even though I like the idea of this movie, when viewed. . . it's not what I'd really call enjoyable experience. I definitely like the concept better than the viewable product. So, should you watch it? Maybe. I saw it once. I doubt I'll ever watch it again. If you're at that weird cross section of wanting to see sexual liberation in movies, deep metaphors in movies, and lots and lots of gross out disgusting things in movies, then see it. If the concept intrigues you but you're concerned about how it plays out, I'd say watch it if you can find it for less than three dollars, or if they happened to be playing it at the horror movie convention that you're at, like I was when I saw it.

I just want to thank everyone who has supported this film (Bad Biology). It was a lot of fun doing this movie with Frank and RA the Rugged Man. These two guys have got the most twisted minds of anyone I have ever met. I play the hooker in the movie and I must say I had a lot of fun working on set. I met a lot of great people while filming this movie, the actress Charlie Danielson wonderful girl and Anthony Sneed great actor. He really gets into his scene. This was a great bunch of people to work with and I hope everyone enjoys this film. I wish we had more of the behind the scene footage, talk about a good laugh...lol Thanks again for everyone support. Lets keep making movies.

Director Frank Henenlotter is best known for his horror cult movies "Brain Damage" and "Basket Case". My favorite is "Brain Damage" which I still consider a classic. But it was "Basket Case" which spawned 2 sequels. Bad Biology is a mix between horror and comedy, just like Henenlotter's "Frankenhooker". But the combination rarely really works, and on "Bad Biology" it certainly doesn't. This was truly awful. From the moment the lead actress looks in the camera and talks about the deformed baby she just walked away from, 5 minutes into the story, the movie is shot. What a waste of time. No frights, no fun, just a below average cast (some are really annoying) and a dull story. The only real special effect is a spawned penis who attacks naked girls to have intercourse (this is not a joke, it really happens...). I have no idea what came over Mr. Henenlotter to direct this piece of s**t. Don't bother, even if you're a fan of the titles named above.
