Dir. Frank Henenlotter
1990, USA, 75 min
From Frank Henenlotter, the creator of the Basket Case trilogy and Brain Damage, comes Frankenhooker, a gory horror-comedy twist on the Frankenstein legend. When Jeffrey Franken’s fiancée is chopped to pieces by the blades of a remote-controlled lawnmower, he uses his dubious medical knowledge to try to bring her back to life.
Frankenhooker is a delightful mix of psychotronic sleaze and biting comedy to die for, a demented classic for sure and, if you ask me, one of the best films of the 90’s… a late night feast for the weird.
