Frank Henenlotter

Improved Essays
So I’m a little behind on getting to this film, I had read a little about it a few years back, say in 2008. The film was actually released in the US in 2010 so I take a small amount of comfort in that my seeing this film was only really almost five years overdue. And let’s just come right out and state the obvious here, it’s a Frank Henenlotter film let alone the first Frank Henenlotter film since Basket Case 3 in 1992. If you are a fan of Herschel Gordon Lewis or even John Waters then I’ll make the assumption that you know who Frank Henelotter is. If you’ve even seen one of his films and liked it or maybe even have a self-esteem high enough to have modified your own genitalia … then you’re likely to really appreciate this film. So that’s my opener… let’s get down to brass tax!

This film is the most bizarre and unlikely love story… possibly ever! The film introduces us to two young sexually insatiable individuals; Jennifer (Charlee Danielson) and Batz (Anthony Sneed) who are completely unaware of each other’s existence. Big deal, you say? Well the thing about

It’s simply one of the most bizarre and sickly hysterical films I’ve seen. Replete with his signature sleaze, gore and lunacy, Bad Biology is an instant cult classic like anything Henenlotter does. It is undeniably certain to offend the sensibilities of just about everyone. I personally don’t see how you could take this film seriously, it’s too far gone and over the top for that. It’s a wondrous thing to behold and guaranteed to drop your jaw many times during its duration. The acting and FX are cheesy, strange and delightful! Highly entertaining, I think the film is a hoot! Beautifully shot on 35-millimeter film, Bad Biology is worth watching even if you don’t like it. You are a matter of rare quandary Frank Henenlotter… and God bless

    It is a widely known saying that a photograph is worth a thousand words; however often without some text accompanying the image and providing insight into the events depicted, a photograph can struggle to accurately express meaning. They can be hard to read as a lot of the time events captured by a camera are complicated and it is not always so simple to comprehend the stories behind them. One photo like this is the one above taken by Magnum photojournalist Thomas Hoepker on September 11th after the attacks on the Twin Towers, and blogger Alex Selwyn-Holmes explains the significance and meaning behind the image which appears simple yet complex at the same time.
