im a little turn man short and .....wait what ?
HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME (4) and to day we review .... "my life as a giant genetic turn man ..." THE MOVIE !!!!
SO here we are yet again ........ finding our selfs in the past of 80/90s sci fi horror ..... during the greatest era of monster films EVER to be created and over saturated upon the screens both large and small .....and for the most part even the worst one the worst were fun films to grab some popcorn on a saturday during gilbert, or rhonda, or joe bob - who ever was showing all day/night monster films ........oh monstervison how we all miss you .......and this was one of those movies ..... a solid ...terribly mid level basic creature feature .... a average monster design , doing average moster stuff from those times ... science does a bad thing, makes monster and UH OH monster gets loose and goes on killing rampage LITERALLY THE STORY PLOT TO 90% OF EVERY SCI FI FILM OF THE 80/90S lol.... and thats okay by me ...because for some reason those films always seemed to work ... just never get enough of them ....
SO hows this one stack up .... WELL
over all its kind of underwhelming compared to some like "creature" or "the being" this one does feel a little phoned in even for the era of phoned in cloned monster flicks lol.... and this one also comes out in the mid 90s SO its right there in the mid to later time of these films as well so its nothing new to the table at the point of it coming out, probably why it went under the radar sadly ...
personally i enjoy it , the technical things, lighting was actually MEH for sure could have done better guys .........the acting was ....on par with these movies .... the sound was also just kind of average .... man i got nothing for this one ....
its getting a 3/10 ..... BUT for the oddball sex scene it gets an extra .5 ....so 3.5/10 .........
i WISH it would have had more interesting original things going for it i really do and its not a BAD movie ... just nothing new or exciting is all and that sucks.

Amusing B level junk.
A follow-up, rather than true sequel, to Fred Olen Rays' "Biohazard", this movie follows a new bunch of characters. They try to save the day when an evil genetics corporation called Triton attempts to both clean house and realize their ultimate goal. To that end, a creature (James L. Miles) will kill anyone who contributed DNA to its synthesis. The ousted former security chief (Steve Zurk) teams with a spunky reporter (Susan Fronsoe) and a doctor (Patrick Moran, who also produced and co-wrote the script) who is another former employee of the corporation.
"Biohazard: The Alien Force" is reasonably good fun for any devotee of cheesy B's. All the expected elements are present and accounted for: a wonky script (which Moran wrote with the director, Steve Latshaw), laughable "continuity", some funny moments, a generous assortment of amateurish acting, an obligatory sex scene, an electronic score (by Jeffrey Walton), and an enjoyably goofy "man in a rubber suit" type monster created by the late, great John Carl Buechler. The villains tend to be more fun to watch than our fairly bland heroes: Tom Ferguson is amusing as a goon named Quint, Catherine Walsh even more amusing as a nefarious scientist named Phillips. Christopher Mitchum, the closest thing the movie has to a "name" actor, is his usual dull self as the main bad guy. It's not surprising to learn that he only worked on this for two days, since he's only in scenes by himself until the final third. Drive-in movie fanatics will relish the cameo appearance by filmmaker William Grefe, who plays a barfly; the dialogue between him and his buddy even references classic Grefe movies! Director Latshaws' son Ryan plays Caitlan Palmers' son.
Executive produced by Ray; his friend and fellow filmmaker Jim Wynorski was one of the co-executive producers.
Five out of 10.

Steve Latshaw track record is pretty bad
If you look at pretty much every movie Steve Latshaw directed they are no more than a 3 and lower.
This one for some odd reason takes the cake with a 1, because the rubber alien is not half as bad but could not save this movie.
Ho yes it does have some nudity with beautiful women, but even that does not save the movie.
The acting is terrible and i mean terrible in every possible way zork what ever is name WOW.... all in all a failed alien sort of type movie that deserves a very bad score.

A post-euclidean tour de force
I never thought that a straight to video, EP format film could be so engrossingly luscious. The sparse, unembellished dialougue would make Hemingway proud, and the Faulkneresque surrealism tops it off. A bold, yet flawless combination results. For example, when the bio-baby's mother uses a basketball under her shirt to simulate pregnancy, the sport's inherent physical violence foreshadows the creature's ultimate nature. Conversely, when the four-door Pontiac, just before being struck by the missile, is replaced by a two-door Buick, it becomes apparent that means of this sort will only reveal the chaos that must ensue whenever anyone employs violence. The only virtue of the car which remains unchanged is its color, red, which needs no explanation. Similarly, when the editor inverts the negative of the crashing helicopter, well, the imagery is readily apparent. This film, while disturbing, will forever change not only the way you look at filmmaking, but your view of life itself.
Where was this on AFI's top 100 list?!
So many questions drifted through my head while watching "Biohazard: The Alien Force". Why is an alien force referenced in the title of the film, yet no aliens appear in this movie? Why does Steve Zurk, playing the protagonist Mike Reardon, look disconcertingly like David Hasslehoff's brother? Who dressed him? Why does the bed of a truck burst into flames after the vehicle bumps into a tree? Why does a rocket not markedly damage a car after a direct hit? Why do none of the characters in the movie seem to have any peripheral vision? Who created the titles and special effects, and why they ever employed to begin with? Lastly, how could this movie's production have concluded without the filmmakers hiding in exile?
This is such a sublimely awful movie it's hard to describe. There are far too many moments of unintended hilarity to describe in this short passage. Suffice to say, this film gets more laughs than just about any comedy out there you could find. I heartily recommend this film to any fan of campy cinema.

Good cheesy fun
This is a good cheesy B-movie. A monster is running around eating people up. The creature looks great but the acting is bad. There was one point in the movie when i didn't even know what was going on. That was one of the only down sides. It was like they just gave the scrip to someone else and told them to write. The monster looks like a gorilla with green scales and sharp teeth. A great Bmovie! Over all i enjoyed this movie very much and i am happy to have added it to my collection. In case you want to buy this movie on DVD go to Amazon.com. Thats were i bought my copy, I don't think they sell it in stores.
A fun piece of cheapo sci-fi/horror trash
