FRANKENHOOKER (1990) — Friday Night WTF!
March 13 : 9:00 pm – 10:30 pm
Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.
“If you only see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker” – Bill Murray
After making horror history with Basket Case and Brain Damage, the incomparable Frank Henenlotter unleashed FRANKENHOOKER—the goriest, goofiest, all-time greatest bastardization of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein 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 of 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 a perfectly pitched comedic turn by Penthouse Pet Patty Mullen as the title character. It’s everything a late-night WTF movie should be!
