Leave your thoughts about Frankenhooker.
| Time OutNigel FloydThe resulting fragmented mess will no doubt keep some in stitches, but it is definitely less than the sum of its body parts. |
| User ReviewChristina BThis movie is the fuckin shit!! Must see!! |
| User ReviewEric RBill Murray is quoted with saying "If you only see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker" when this film fist came out. If it's okay in Bill Murray's Book, then it's okay in mine! Here we have a brilliant young man who's fiancé dies in a tragic lawnmower accident (!?!) at the beginning of the film. He ends up sneaking here heart away and comes up with a brilliant scheme to bring her back to life with body parts of, who else, hookers. Hookers go missing every night so no one will miss them! Well he creates a drug that causes the addict to explode, however it's not in typical bloody Hennenlotter fashion as they just comically explode in a shower of sparks. He gets a gathering of hookers together in order for them to use the drug. He has second thoughts but hookers dig into the super crack anyway and in an outrageous sequence they begin bursting all over the place. He then uses the parts and brings his fiancé back to life only she has the urge to start being a prostitute again. She escapes to start walking the streets for clients and literally make their sparks fly. Frankenhooker is actually the third film by director Frank Hennenlotter and by the title one can easily see he's swayed from the horror genre more into the comedy genre. Even though It's more of a comedy I still had a great time as the characters are quirky and bizarre, especially Patty Mullen as our zombie hooker. She got a smile to crack across my face numerous times especially when she says the line "You wanna date?" to various guys on the street. Her appearance is also memorable with her pale head and tan torso. Funny stuff. Though I found this film to be an amusing good time, I missed the gritty nastiness and horror elements of Frank Hennenlotter's previous genre classics Basket Case and Brain Damage. However Frankenhooker is still undeniably a Hennenlotter film due to its crude, sometimes perverse humor and violent anti-drug message. What also interesting is how this film came to be. Director Frank Hennenlotter was in meeting with potential producer James Glickenhaus when Glickenhaus asked Hennlotter what ideas for films he had. Hennenlotter did not go into the meeting with any ideas and not wanting to pass up this grand opportunity he came up with the plot to Frankenhooker on the spot. Glickhause loved the idea and signed Hennenlotter to a two picture deal, first being Frankenhooker and of course the obligatory sequel Basket Case 2. Fans of Hennenlotters previous films Basket Case and Brain Damage need to go into this film not expecting the same bloody carnage. It's more of a comedy but it's still an outrageous entertaining ride that only the likes of Hennenlotter could cultivate. |

| User ReviewIan CThis is genius. A medical school drop out is now an electrician and invents a robotic lawnmower for his in-laws but during the first cut, it kills is girlfriend. He goes off the radar and sets out to bring her back to life by using some of her body parts that he managed to salvage and the remains of some dead hookers. So many laughs and gross out moments. James Lorinz is the fucking balls in this. I first saw him in 'Street trash' don't know how he never went on to bigger and better things, especially on the strength of Frankenhooker. |
| User ReviewGimly MWritten and directed by Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case (1982) and Brain Damage (1988)), this black comedy horror is inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but you get the impression that Shelley would never have dreamt that her book would have inspired something like this. It has to be seen to be believed, and there's stuff in this that'll have you absolutely howling with laughter, it's absolutely hilarious!! When Elizabeth Shelley (Patty Mullen) is accidentally killed by a remote controlled lawnmower at a birthday barbeque, her fiancee Jeffrey Franken (James Lorinz) is devastated, but he's also an amateur scientist, and he comes up with a plan to bring Elizabeth back to life, he salvaged her head and a few other parts from the accident, and decides to kill prostitutes to fill in the missing pieces. He kills them in a massive orgy using some industrial strength "super meth". He uses the parts to put her back together, and it seemingly works, but the reassembled Elizabeth doesn't want Jeffrey, she wants to have sex with stranger for money, or she'll kill them!! You cannot believe a film like this got made, but thank god it did!! It's refreshing to see a comedy-horror with it's tongue firmly in it's cheek, and it's a shame that Henenlotter hasn't made more films, as he has a true talent. This is a prime example of a film so bad it's absolutely brilliant!! |
