Frank Henenlotter, the man who gave us the low budget cult favourites Basket Case (1982) and Frankenhooker (1990) is back after an absurd 16 year hiatus from feature film directing with Bad Biology, a comeback film that apparently lives up to the reputation of Henenlotter's celebrated horror favourites, a bizarre and twisted story of a genitally-endowed young woman's search for sexual fulfilment.

Opening with the voice-over line, "I was born with seven clits," the film introduces us to Jennifer (Charlee Danielson), an insatiable nymphomaniac whose multi-pronged sexual organ has given her a constant craving for penile stimulation. Unfortunately, the sexual satisfaction Jennifer seeks is proving very hard to find. Worse, each disappointing sexual encounter she experiences results in a two-hour pregnancy period that produces an always-unwanted mutant baby.

Unknown to Jennifer, just across town lies the solution to her frustration in the form of a young man called Batz (Anthony Sneed), whose own sexual shortcomings have led him to inject growth steroids directly into his penis. Thanks to some unfortunate side effects, Batz has now become the concerned owner of a 24-inch member with a drug addiction and a mind of its own! Naturally, Batz and Jennifer are destined to meet, but will their eventual encounter prove to be what either of them is looking for?

Proving he's lost none of his crazed enthusiasm for putting on screen what most people wouldn't even dare to imagine, Henenlotter delivers a jaw-dropping horror-comedy guaranteed to shock even the most hardened horror fans who think they've seen it all. From penis point-of-view shots to topless models in vagina masks and endless orgasms to an anthropomorphic cock bursting through walls and floorboards on a rampage of rape and destruction, Bad Biology is being touted as a tour-de-force of extreme cinema. Bizarre, outrageous, offensive and funny, it may well be certainly destined for the sort of cult classic status that Henenlotter's previous works have enjoyed.

Bad Biology (cert. 18, natch) will be released on UK DVD by Revolver Entertainment on 16th February 2009 at the RRP of £12.99. No extra features have been listed.

UPDATE (23rd December 2008): The DVD release date has now been put back to 2nd March 2008.
