Bad Biology (2008)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Good concept, poorly executed.

A different way of telling a story

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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.

Bad Biology is set in New York where Jennifer (Charlee Danielson) lives & works as a fashion photographer, Jennifer is unique in that she has at least seven clits & a large sex drive. However normal men don't really satisfy her, after having sex she usually kills the man & then gives birth to a mutant bay within two hour's which she then leaves to die. Jennifer is only looking for love & happiness & when she finds Batz (Anthony Sneed) during a photo shoot Jennifer believes she has found the answer to her prayers. Batz has a huge penis, a penis created by pumping it full of hormones but the penis has developed a mind of it's own & will stop at nothing to satisfy itself & it's sexual desires...Co-written & directed by cult filmmaker Frank Henenlotter I personally though Bad Biology was crude, juvenile rubbish that is neither scary with it's terrible looking living killer penis nor funny with it's constant sex gags. The script is certainly different, Bad Biology could be described as some twisted romantic comedy horror that fails miserably on all fronts. You can probably tell already that I didn't like Bad Biology, the jokes are lame, next to nothing happens apart from unfunny monologues by unlikable character's & it doesn't seem to have any real purpose. At just over 80 minutes long at least it's quite short & if you can get into the story & character's & find the school-ground humour funny then you might enjoy Bad Biology but for anyone looking for a good film with a decent story & some intelligence & dignity then you will probably dislike it as much as I did. I can't say that I laughed or even smiled once during Bad Biology, I just thought it's lame bad taste humour & random plot that lacks a strong central story added up to a waste of 80 odd minutes.Much more restrained than Henelotter's previous films Bad Biology is far more interested in sex & nudity than blood & gore. There are lots of naked bodies on show & several (lame) sex scenes that means it's probably not wise to watch this in your room on your own as people pass outside the door & constantly hear sexual grunting & groaning! The killer penis stop motion animation at the end is poor but at least it's not CGI. One-Eyed Monster (2008) is a much better & funnier killer penis sex comedy (look at that, your wait ages for a killer penis film & then two turn up in the same year...). In a cinematic first Bad Biology is probably the only film that has a 'Victim Photos by' credit during the opening titles.Probably shot on a low budget most of Bad Biology was apparently filmed in the supposedly haunted Brooklyn mansion that had belonged to preacher Father Divine. Quite well made for what it is I suppose but nothing special, the acting is alright & there are some nice looking girls here I suppose. A lot of the minor roles are filled by rappers.Bad Biology is a childish sex comedy that tries to crank up the bad taste & crude sexual humour but it came across as unfunny & rather pointless. If this sort of lowest common denominator humour appeals to you then Bad Biology might be worth watching but if not then give it a miss.

Frank Henenlotter, the singularly nutty and deviant mad cinematic genius who blessed us with such choice cult oddities as "Basket Case," "Brain Damage," and "Frankenhooker," makes a triumphant no-holds-barred outrageously tasteless and sordid comeback after a regrettable eighteen year absence. Only Henenlotter could concoct the gloriously edgy and aberrant premise: Erotic photographer Jennifer (an admirably brave and fearless performance by gorgeous blonde Charlee Danielson) has seven clitorises and an insatiable need for constant sex. Charlee has countless one night stands and leaves her hideously malformed babies in her carnal cake. Anguished Batz (a likable portrayal by Anthony Sneed) has an even bigger problem; he's cursed with a monstrously massive penis with a nasty mind of its own that Batz tries to keep under control with substantial amounts of hard drugs. Naturally, the inevitable meeting of these two lonely and tormented freaks is anything but sweet and wholesome. Henenlotter's take-no-prisoners bent, berserk, and flat-out brazen sensibility ensures that this feature is loads of deliciously depraved fun: The plentiful tasty distaff nudity, a very kinky and filthy sexuality, several rough'n'raunchy (semi-pornographic) sex scenes, the hysterically profane dialogue (a conversation in a diner about legendary porn star John Holmes is positively sidesplitting), the over-the-top grisly splatter, the grotesque make-up f/x by Gabe Bartolas, the pervasively sleazy atmosphere, and the wickedly sick, yet still extremely funny sense of pitch-black humor combine together to create one of the single most bizarre and degenerate indie horror films to ever ooze its wonderfully warped way onto celluloid. Such moments as a hooker having an endless orgasm after Batz does just what you think with her and Batz's lethal phallus detaching itself from his body so it can embark on a wild raping spree are undeniably gross and disgusting, but still incredibly hilarious just the same. Kudos are also in order for Nick Deeg's polished cinematography (gotta love those funky penis and vagina point of view shots!), the quirky score by Prince Paul and Josh Glazer, and the priceless ending credits rap song about the troubled production history of the movie. Welcome back, Frank.

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.
