WHEN BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN IS NOT ENOUGH
After making horror history with Basket Case and Brain Damage, the incomparable Frank Henenlotter unleashed Frankenhooker—the greatest transmutation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein that you’ll ever see.
After accidentally murdering the love of his life, Jeffrey Franken decides to reanimate her with the help of a drug named Supercrack . . . and the body parts of a dozen streetwalkers. Like a twisted mash-up between John Waters’s Serial Mom and Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator, Frankenhooker is a bad taste triumph that revels in sublime camp, gloopy gore, and neon-soaked dreamscapes. Plus an iconic performance by Patty Mullen as the eponymous title character.
"If you only see one movie this year it should be Frankenhooker" - Bill Murray
"There’s heart and soul in Henenlotter’s blood and guts. He wouldn’t keep a vial of it in his fridge if there wasn’t." - Willow Maclay, co-author of Corpses, Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema
