"If you only see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker." — Bill Murray
"This is one of Henenlotter's best movies." — Michael J. Weldon, The Psychotronic Video Guide
"Henenlotter is an original, coming up with a piece of American Gothic that has the primitive energy of Sam Fuller and the dark humor of David Lynch." — Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
"I've never seen anything like it." — Joe Bob Briggs
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 fiancee 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. He reassembles his beloved Elizabeth using the body parts of New York City's finest prostitutes, and resurrects her during a heavy lightning storm. Unfortunately for Jeffrey, his dear Elizebeth's brain is scrambled and she runs amok on 42nd Street, turning tricks and bringing high-voltage death to her customers! Want a date? Wanna party? Got any money?
