Bad Biology (2008)

Fresh and Exciting

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I thought Henenlotter finally made really good movie... Good atmosphere, nice pacing, instead of retarded special effects from previous movies he left some things to our imagination... Instead of showing us unconvincing monsters he made better effect by clever camera angles, cuts in all the right places, faces of characters when they see things we can not see and similar tricks. But no, he could not resist. Near the end he gave up on good directing and got back to retarded special effects, showing us the monster that is so stupid that spoils it all and lowers this movie on same level with Basket Case franchise. And than he buried the movie with incredibly lousy ending. If he endured to keep the movie on same level till the end it would be strong 7, and the top of the genre, but this way I can not go over 5/10 and even that is more for the idea than for it's realization.

What do you call a woman who has seven clitorides? How about a serial killer? Well, there are worse ways to go. Next there is the shy guy who is built like a horse and then some. Any points this film garners is purely for originality. Needless to say, the two of them meet, and then...well, after they meet briefly, and after she decides he is the man of her dreams - having seen the thing he keeps inside his trousers - this "thing" decides to detach itself from its owner and go hunting for...if you think that sounds off the planet, wait until you hear about her two hour pregnancies.Originality aside, this is a film that was made in pure bad taste. Okay, if you like a bit of gratuitous nudity, you may find something of interest here, but anything else is purely for sick minds.

Frank Henenlotter's first film in over 15 years and it's like the man lost not only his spark to make movies, but the basics in crafting a film as well. This is strictly amateur hour. Despite being shot on 35mm, this film manages to look even cheaper than it's low budget would suggest. An oddball plot about a woman with seven clits and a man who is monstrously endowed could be B movie gold, but it's just poor, unfunny and basically unwatchable. As much as I awaited the day of Henenlotter's return, I wish he just stayed a product of the 80s and early 90s. There's so little effort on display, that I can't imagine Henenlotter directing another picture. Avoid, or try to forget after viewing.

Frank Henenlotter the writer/director who brought us Basket Case, Brain Damage and Frankenhooker makes a much anticipated comeback with 'Bad Biology' and doesn't disappoint one bit. The very first line of the movie is "I was born with seven clits" and it just gets more and more messed up as the movie progresses. His lowest budget movie with terrible actors and appalling special effects but none of that matters in the slightest.I'd imagine that most people who see Bad Biology will consider it the most messed up movie they've ever seen. It's about sex addiction and the unlikely meeting of a woman with seven clits and a man with a monstrous penis with a mind of its own. It could viewed as dealing with sex addiction issues and an allegory of sex predators but most likely you'll just find it good, very silly fun.A random scene of a junkie chick looking for her "ziggy jig"(?) or something has me in fits of laughter every time as do the penis attack scenes and the vagina faces photoshoot.It's a movie guaranteed to polarize it's audience. You'll either consider it sick, disgusting, tasteless trash that's a whole world of wrong, or, if you have a particularly perverse sense of humour, revel in the sick mind of Frank Henenlotter in this glorious return to form.Brain Damage was always my favourite movie of his but now I think I may actually like this one best.
