If, like me, you are a gore-hound in possession of an un-subtitled and un-dubbed copy of this film, and your Japanese is a tad rusty (ie., you don't understand a word they are saying), then worry not: at 35 minutes long, Biotherapy is still entertaining stuff, even if you haven't a clue what is going on. Thanks to some brilliantly realistic and very bloody special effects, the film is definitely worth a watch if splatter is your thing.The story, from what I could gather, sees a glowing, masked, hat-wearing alien (who seems to be in search of some kind of special chemical), chasing a group of scientists and killing them in a variety of nasty ways. Gruesome highlights include an impressive eyeball removal, death by broken test tubes (they are rammed into a woman's chest and her blood pumps messily out of the ends—very juicy!!), and a yucky disembowelling.At the end of the film, the alien is unmasked, revealing a rather amusing toothy creature.Biotherapy is good gory fun, and perfect fare if you've a tight schedule and can't fit in a full feature.

Pygmies have a seat class is about to begin. It's time for another review from your off the wall movie reviewer Professor Chief GoreMongral. Today we will discuss a short film called Biotherapy. A movie that most of you gore and horror movie fans in the know have probably heard of. It comes from the Land of the Rising Sun and from what I have heard it is suppose to be a fun 35 minute ride of pure goregasims (im patenting that word). Does it stack up lets take a look.First off I must say that I searched high and low for a subtitled version of this but to my disappointment none could be found so I had to settle with the straight Japanese Language version with no subs. Now from what I can make out this film is about a scientist who has created a special formula (KFC, Coca Cola maybe) that aliens seem to be after so for the remainder of the running time we have people running from an alien that is trying to get this formula. We also get people getting there inerts rip out by an alien, a professor having his eyeball removed (very convincing effect) a new way of administering I.V.s using nothing but test tubes and 1 or 2 other unfortunate demises as well.The question is did I like it..yes and no. I did like the convincing gore effects that were used and I think that the story was passable enough to have been stretched out into at least an 80 to 90 minute film (more on that later). The real problem I had was even though it sounds like a lot of gore for such a short time frame there sure was a lot of talking going on that unfortunately I could not understand, so I had to kind of ad lib what was going on. Subtitles really could have helped. Also as much hype going in I was really expecting a lot of wall to wall gore for 35 minutes and I got about half of that. Again the gore that was on display was nice I just wish there would have been more of it.In closing, you get a short gore flick like this expecting a monster bloodbath. You get all the hype as being nasty but when its all said and done you get about half of what you are expecting. Again is it bad no just not as good as advertised.6/10: Gorehounds if you have seen the best and just want to see another gore movie with well done gore effects give it a go just do not expect the "Braindead" of splatter shorts. Others need not apply. Movie needed, like the hick song says, a little less talk and a lot more action, for its running time.A longer running time could have fleshed out the talking with some more gore and SOMEONE PLEASE SUBTITLE THIS FILM!!! The version I watched was from a "special" order I put in. Like I said all the known versions have no subs. Until next time class is over !!

I had been meaning to get a copy of BIOTHERAPY for a while, but kept pushing it to the "bottom of the list" as other films that I had been looking for took priority. Well, I finally got my hands on this one, and honestly, I can't say that I was all that impressed. This one is also in Japanese with no subs/dubs, so here's what I gathered from it:Some kind of alien-thing is going around killing a bunch of scientists...that's pretty much it. Since this film clocks in at just barely over a half hour, plot is not really a main concern in this one.When I researched BIOTHERAPY a while back, it had been described as a "notorious splatterfest" and other equally intriguing descriptions. Honestly, it's not bad in terms of gore, and there's an eyeball removal scent that's among the best that I've seen, but other than that, the gore in BIOTHERAPY is no heavier or more outstanding than any other Japanese "extreme" splatter film. Maybe I've been watching too much of this trash lately and have become jaded - but BIOTHERAPY was nothing exceptional to me. Recommended to extreme J-splatter fans only - anyone else shouldn't bother. A pretty generous 6/10 because it did deliver some red stuff, and the eyeball scene was noteworthy...

"Biotherapy" is a fairly nasty Japanese gorefest about a group of Japanese scientists stalked and viciously butchered by a creepy-looking alien.This relatively unknown ultra low-budget splatter film is rather well-made and captivating.The gore effects by Osamu Miki are effective and suitably nasty for example the scene where a scientist has his eye pulled out is extremely graphic.There is also incredibly bloody moment in which a female scientist is sadistically murdered by having broken test tubes jammed into her body and the blood is spraying everywhere."Biotherapy" is not as sickening as Daisuke Yamanouchi's "Red Room" series or Tamakichi Anaru's ultra-nasty "Women's Flesh",but it certainly provides plenty of red stuff for fans of crazy Japanese splatter.Give it a look,if you can find it.8 out of 10.
