Biohazardous

Biohazardous is a nice homage to Romero's famous zombie flicks. While this film never reaches the highest of any of his films, it is a really sweet zombie flick non the less. This extremely low budget flick is a fun ride, very bloody and surprisingly well acted and written. I'd love to see what these guys would do with a serious budget.

While the movie is certainly not without it's problems, it's one of the most entertaining SOV horror flicks I've seen.

five stars!

Fun little zombie opus. Well written and acted with plenty of gore. Extremely low budget, but a fun ride for splatter fans!

One of the better zombie flick of the last few years. Highly recommended for fans of B-movies.

A fun ride for fans of low budget horror flicks. While BIOHAZARDOUS is one of those love it or hate it films. I loved it! It's a B-movie that shows what a few talented people can do with next to no budget. Sure, it's got it cheese factor, but if your a fan of these type of SOV flicks, then your going to have a great time with Biohazardous. The Mr. Stine character has got to be one of the best villains in a b-movie in years! However, if b-movies aren't your thing, I recommend renting before you buy. I also must mention the FX in the film are head and shoulders above most the crap out there these days. All in all, I'd say Biohazardous is an inspiration for all no-budget horror filmmakers out there. A cult film in the first degree!

A group of young people trespasses on the property of a secret facility known as Gentech, so they can drink beer and smoke pot. They have no idea that the government is carrying out dangerous biological experiments there.

Oh no!

Something goes awry in the Gentech lab! Now, before these teens can say "Pass the blunt", flesh-consuming zombies arise in search of warm food!

BIOHAZARDOUS is a bloody, ultra-cheeezey, low-budget film. It's what might happen if George A. Romero had had his brain removed and replaced with Styrofoam packing pellets. Well, maybe not that good...

As far as zero-budget c-movie shot-on-video horror goes, Biohazardous is pretty good. It has a fair few zombies, a lot of zombie vs human action in it's second half and some good direction. Still, fact of the matter is it's still a video-shot basement flick with no budget whatsoever. It's better than almost all the video-shot basement horror I've seen to date, but it has to be said that's not saying a lot, given that all I really have to compare it with are movies like Killjoy, Death Tunnel or the Bloody Murder series. In this company Biohazardous is king of all kings. Outside of this company it's really ropey though.

The odd thing is that it isn't the lacklustre special effects, the dodgy acting or the patchy camera-work that keelhauls it...it's the decision to make it a 'teen' movie that derails the film. I don't really understand why , other than general demographic, all low-budget horror movies have a teen cast. Biohazardous didn't need to be a teen movie and suffers for the half hour we're subjected to the young cast listening to generic metal music (because all teenagers spend every five minutes of their lives listening to bargain basement Korn copyists, don't you know) and smoking joints. Once it's over with, Biohazardous is an energetic, daft and enjoyable zombie-muncher, but guys, why the half-baked Cry_wolf rubbish at the start?

Still, maybe I'm getting too old for this s**t. If you ignore the mentally challenged key cast, there's a lot to like. These plus-points run the gamut from a subtle sense of self-deprecating humour, through a zombie vicar right through to a chainsaw attack that left a wide grin on my face. This is quite a fun movie, almost so much fun you'll forget it's shot on a camcorder in what seems to only be three corridors and a deserted section of park. It's fast paced once it get's it's groove on (about 25 minutes in) and it doesn't skimp on the gore either, with a lot of gross zombie-munching shots.

It isn't Citizen Kane, and people aren't going to be shopping The Shining off their top horror lists on Amazon to make way for this either. Still, if you're beered up and seek a cool horror rental, Biohazardous could be right up your dark, rat-infested alley.
