Woodyanders Review of Biohazard: The Alien Force

Biohazard: The Alien Force (1994 Video)

A fun piece of cheapo sci-fi/horror trash

[8/10 · 22 September 2016]

A deadly and predatory genetically engineered mutant (James L. Miles in a funky, if hokey rubber suit) made up of the DNA of various donors escapes from a lab so it can hunt down and kill the male donors while attempting to mate with the female ones. Meanwhile, nefarious lab head Donald Brady (token semi-name Christopher Mitchum, who just barely manages to retain his dignity) wants to capture the beast for his own evil reasons. Boy, does this hilariously horrendous honey possess all the right wrong stuff to qualify as a real four-star stinkeroonie: Ham-fisted (mis)direction by Steve Latshaw (who also co-wrote the supremely silly script), terrible acting from a lame no-name cast, tacky gore, cut-rate (far from) special effects, rusty tin-eared dialogue (sample line: "He can smell you boys -- be careful"), a mechanically bouncy synthesizer score, and ineptly staged monster attack scenes. Naturally, we also get a generous serving of yummy (and utterly gratuitous) bare distaff skin. Florida exploitation cinema legend William Grefe has a funny bit as loudmouth drunk Mr. Babb. An absolute schlocky hoot.
