Warning: Spoilers
The award-winning (why oh why?) "Bio-Cop" is a 5-minute live action short film from 2012, so this one has its 5th anniversary this year and it is a little DVD feature for another movie by writer and director Steven Kostanski. It is a Canadian production in the English language, but the language is kinda irrelevant as the sound here basically only consists of people screaming, explosions and the narrator saying the word "Bio-Cop". Oh yeah, this is a fake trailer, but half a decade later it is probably safe to say that there will never be a movie based on these five minutes. And that is most likely a good thing as this one here is zero about the story, but 100% about the special effects and make-up. It definitely shows that the latter is Kostanski's original field pf expertise. Filmmaking may not be it. Protagonist is the title character, a mutated cop, but it's tough to understand this from this movie if you did not know the name or the very basic plot. It's a prime example of style over substance that in addition looks really amateurish and not as if it was made by a man who has been working for years in the industry. As a conclusion, this does not get me in the slightest curious about Kostanski's other works. I give it a major thumbs-down. Don't even think of checking it out.
