Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 25 Average rating: 3.5 "Ok movie, poor DVD" Bio Hunter was made by the same people who made Wicked City so you know its going to be good, but basically, Bio Hunter doesn't quite cut it for me. Oh sure, it has the smae content from Wicked City, but....well....there is not enough of it to satisfy fans of Wicked City. If the film had been longer I would have appreciated it more, but Bio Hunter is one of those could-have-been-better films. Still, if Wicked City is rented out at the video store (my video store always has Wicked City rented out), rent this for a little taste of Wicked City. However, I can not give Urban Vision any conpensation for their so called 'Special Edition' of Bio Hunter. The only thing special is the storyboards which were not really that great. And that does it for the Extras. Thats right. No trailer, interviews or image gallery. Overall, if Bio Hunter appeals to you, rent it. If you want to buy it, I suggest trying Wicked City instead. It is way better, VHS or DVD. "bio hunter the best movie ever?" this movie wa action packed from begging to end. thier was never a dull moment in this movie. the story is also amazing.no one should wait to get this dvd "bio hunter-the best movie ever?" hello victor here to tell you about bio hunter the movie. this movie was so action packed i got a nose bleed. The story line is so sweet. I've seen many other anime's before but this one is the cream of the crop. I wouldn't hasatate to buy this movie!!!!!!! "More story then you might expect" From the creator of Wicked City and Ninja Scroll comes one of the least exciting of the three. But I must say, it is a very good title. The story revolves around two guys called Biohunters. One is a science teacher who gets involved with students and the other has a horrid case of demon virus. These two help cure people affected by the demon virus. Sometimes, when the need arises, the guy with the virus will use his powers to help out. Soon they are chased by another man with the virus who wants them dead. They also meet Seika. Seika prooves to be quite a love for the demon-virus Biohunter and his partner keeps on boasting. Ofcourse, like Wicked City and Ninja Scroll, there is your creppy old guy, but this one is more inteligent then that of Ninja Scroll and Wicked City. The content, compared to the other two movies, is slimmer, but thats because there is more plot in the story. The dub makes use of the same voice actors from Twilight of Darkmaster. I'd recommend renting this movie first because it might not be good for most people in the long run, but its still a great movie. "Biohunter is very underated" Most anime fans seem to gravitate towards the newer, childish, humor-oriented anime, and forget about the thrillers that made the genre popular in the United States to begin with. Biohunter should be one of those classics. It was made by the same people that made Wicked City and Ninja Scroll, two of the most famous old-school anime movies of all time, and it shows. The basic premise of the movie is that werewolves, vampires, and monsters actually could be real, if there were a genetic disorder that mutated people into these creatures. Two professors are fighting these monsters, and one of them has contracted the "demon virus" himself. The character designs are brilliant, especially for the infected professor. The action scenes are intense, and the animation is top-notch. There is a small amount of gore, but just enough to keep it exciting. It's R-rated stuff, but it won't make you sick like some anime. It's only an hour long, but it's definitely not rushed, and you probably won't even notice how short it is. This is one movie that you shouldn't miss out on!
