2/10
Crude juvenile rubbish.

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.
