Movie Reviews of BioHunter (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Biohunter (the not so special, special edition.)
Summary: 3 Stars
Biohunter is a story about a pair of police one of whom has been infected by a mutating retrovirus that turns humans into raving mad monsters , unlike other people though, He has control. with the infection present in his blood he and his partner go out to confront a great evil, that only one whom, "has died, and givin his soul to the darkness can defeat the darkness" this retrovirus has the ability to turn people into all sorts of creatures of legend such as Vampires, Werewolves etc Very Violent and gory. but alas the animated gratuitous sex scene that takes nearly a minute right off the bat (no vampire pun intended) is totally unnecessary and just annoying. the dvd doesnt even take you to a menu screen just straight to the movie. and for a special edition. thats odd so I delved a little further and found the "special features" are nothing more then a trailer for final fantasy crystal (animation) oh and a few oddities but no real extras to speak of so why is this edition special? I really haven't a clue other then this is a really hard to get film that IS Excellent and has high quality sound and graphics. its been remastered nicely. its just a shame that the extras seem to have not been special enough for the "special edition" 3 1/2 stars overall. *this would have easily been 4 stars but 2 negatives. one the silly cartooon sex scene and 2 the lack of more story and battles when there Clearly was loads of room for Tons more. A really good Movie by the makers of Ninja Scroll. *hence the sex scene they are famous for them* if you can find a cheaper edition I would say get it but if you cannot then you might want to buy this.
Summary of BioHunter (Special Edition)
Popular horror director Yoshisaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll) served as head writer on this 1995 feature. Komada and Koshigaya are scientists--and Bio Hunters, agents who battle the Demon Virus that causes humans to mutate into weird monsters. Komada has contracted the virus, but something in his immune system enables him to control his transformations. When Komada rescues Sayaka Murakami, the granddaughter of a famed psychic, from a gang of thugs, he unwittingly pits the Bio Hunters against the powerful politician Seijuro Tabe. The partners discover that Tabe is actually the horrible monster that's been roaming Tokyo, killing young women and eating their livers. He's no longer human, but a corpse possessed by the devil. The final battle pits Komada in his monster form against the tentacles and fanged jaws of the possessed Tabe, although Koshigaya administers the coup de gr?ce. A well-directed, violent entertainment, Bio Hunter suffers from a disjointed story: the link between Tabe's possession and the Demon Virus is never established. The ending suggests that the film may have been intended as a pilot, as Koshigaya declares the Bio Hunters' dedication to the ongoing battle against the Virus. Bio Hunter is not for viewers with weak stomachs. Not rated; suitable only for ages 18 and up for nudity, sex, violence, cannibalism, grotesque imagery, and violence against women. --Charles SolomonAnimation DVD Video
