Production

[edit]

It was the second in a series of films Stephen Latshaw made for Fred Olen Ray. Latshaw later said it was one of his favourite films:

Because of the wonderful memories of Florida, our cast and crew, and the fact that we broke all the rules and made an action-packed sci fi adventure with 28 speaking parts, 50 locations, car chases, helicopter battles, running and jumping fights, more car chases at Universal studios, exploding lab complexes and Chris Mitchum. And all for about $50,000.[1]

Footage of a lab explosion wound up in two other Fred Olen Ray films.[2]

Reception

[edit]

A review at TV Guide stated, "With an amateurish cast, devoid of editing rhythms, gratuitously graphic, and badly written, BIOHAZARD is more of a filmed casualty list than a polished chiller."[3] The film has also been described as "another cheesy Alien rip-off with slimy beasts from space."[4]
