Bad Biology

I just got back from the 2008 Phillyfest! There were some great movies there- South Korea's EPITAPH was refreshingly violent and THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM was awesome....but the best part of the festival was attending the screening for Frank Henenlotter's BAD BIOLOGY. It has been sixteen years since his last movie and Frank has only gotten more demented with age. This flick is totally hilarious and just as smart as you would expect a horror story to be by Henenlotter. This time Henelotter has teamed up with rapper R.A. "The Rugged Man" who co-wrote the script and contributes to the soundtrack. Once again Frank enlists the talents of one of the masters of Make-Up Special Effects - Gabe Bartalos (Matthew Barney's CREMASTER CYCLE and Kevin Tenney's BRAIN DEAD). Bartalos' creations are so out there yet completely complimentary to Frank's warped vision. It is proof once again that when Henenlotter and Bartalos are working together...WOW. It's great to have you back, Frank!!
