Definitely not for everyone,but I personally found it to be fascinating, 16 June 2009
10/10
Author: collipal-1 from Argentina

Between the directors which are considered to be "cult",very few are as deserving of that qualifier as Frank Henenlotter.Although his career started 27 years ago,his filmography is relatively short; nevertheless,his bizarre vision and indomitable independent spirit can be found on every one of his movies,from the extraordinary Basket Case (which tells the story of a young man who tries to control the homicide tendencies from his Siamese brother) to Frankenhooker,which is about exactly what its title suggests : a monster which is constructed with the parts of various murdered hookers.His most recent film had been Basket Case 3,which was made in 1992,and since then we had not had the pleasure to see another of his twisted fables,due to the fact that Henenlotter was busy as a collaborator in the movie distribution company Something Weird Video,which resurrects and preserves forgotten horror films.Fortunately,in 2008,Henenlotter came back to directing with the absolutely fascinating movie Bad Bilogy,a macabre but brilliant romantic story which confirms Henenlotter has not lost his subversive attitude in 16 years of inactivity.Bad Bilogy is as grotesque and depraved as it seems after reading its storyline.However,it would be a very big mistake to put it next to pieces of crap like Gutterballs or Amateur Porn Star Killer,which show graphic sex scenes as the last resource to draw attention,because they completely lack of any narrative or cinematographic attributes.Bad Biology uses its perverse story to make a reflection about the modern interpretation of sexuality,and also criticizing the frivolous attitudes and generalities promote about those subjects.I truly think Bad Bilogy is an art movie,because it promotes different messages to leave the spectator thinking and discussing.Some people may consider the characters from this movie as crude exaggerations,but I consider them as ingenious satirical and didactic tools which evoke real situations.On some aspects,I would consider Henenlotter as an hybrid between directors Lloyd Kaufman and David Cronenberg,because he uses the amateur (I do not say it as a bad element) performances from the first one and the sober analysis of the repulsive humanity from the second one.Bad Biology is the most clear example from that combination in Henenlotter's filmography.Of course,this is not a movie for everyone,but I recommend it with a lot of enthusiasm to the brave lovers of the cinema who want to see an absolutely fascinating combination of laughs,blood,perversion...and intelligent reflection.Bad Biology is an extraordinary movie which hides a lot of interesting messages under its surface.I just hope Henenlotter will not last another 16 years for making his next movie.
