Curiosidades

Biohazard is a 1985 science-fiction horror film directed by Fred Olen Ray and starring Aldo Ray and Angelique Pettyjohn. It is a low-budget horror film that draws inspiration from the successful 1979 film Alien.

Production

The creature was played by director Fred Olen Ray's son Christopher Olen Ray. Ray chose to make the alien smaller, as he wanted to play against audience expectations of a large monster being a threat and instead present something that could more easily hide and pop out of tight spaces.

Initially, financing was provided by Kenneth Hartford's production company Eastern Hemisphere, but part way through production, Eastern Hemisphere collapsed, leaving the crew stranded as financial responsibilities fell to director Ray. Luckily, this happened as the MIFED (Mercato internazionale del film e del documentario) Film Market was starting and Ray took the shot footage to showcase to potential investors.

The film was shot in the San Fernando Valley, with Ray not enjoying shooting there, as the area was often uncooperative to their shooting schedule and more than once the police tried to shut down production despite them having permits.
