Biohazardous is a 2001 American horror film written and directed by Michael J. Hein. It stars Sprague Grayden as a teenager who discovers that a local research company has been creating zombies.

Plot

A research company founded by ex-Nazi scientists moves to a small town. Bored, several teens break in and find that the company has been reanimating the dead. Stuck there with the zombies, they attempt to escape with the help of a few cops and employees who are also present.

Cast

Production

Filming took place in Hillsdale, New Jersey. The budget was less than $100,000.[1]

Release

Biohazardous was released on DVD in the United States on February 18, 2003.[2]

Reception and legacy

Drive-in film critic Joe Bob Briggs called it "a pretty much by-the-numbers, micro-budget effort".[3] Jerry White of Beyond Hollywood wrote that the film is enjoyably bad, as many scenes are unintentionally funny.[4] Daniel Benson of HorrorTalk rated it 2/5 stars and wrote that the film's special effects can not overcome the other faults, including poor writing and acting.[2] Writing in The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, academic Peter Dendle said, "The filmmakers exploit the limited location as best they can" but "there's little build-up of tension".[5]

As an outgrowth of Biohazardous, Hein founded the New York City Horror Film Festival.[6]
