When his pretty fiancee goes to pieces under the blades of a runaway lawnmower, aspiring mad scientist Jeffrey Franken hatches an unorthodox scheme to bring his beloved back to life. He reassembles her using body parts of New York prostitutes. Gory and exploitative, but worth seeing for some New Jersey color, as well as giant pimp Zorro and some murderous "Supercrack."

This movie is the right blend of comedy, sleaze and horror. It's so good. The picture quality is very good for the age of the film. I'm impressed by this one all around.
I was looking for horror movies and happened to come across this. I had to get it. I honestly liked and enjoyed the movie. Yes, it is an older movie, a little dated... but still so funny. I loved the cringe humor. Movies like these just need to be appreciated for what they are, not what you want them to be. I liked it and that's all I care about. Happy I found this one.
Without giving away too much of the plot,a geeky already unbalanced young scientist loses his loved one in a freak accident. Let's just say it's rather unusual, in a darkly hilarious way. This drives him to the point of no return, socially isolating himself and takes desperate steps to preserve her, then is inspired to bring her back, going to some hookers on old 42nd Street. Coughs up a scheme making a fatal substance he calls,"super-crack", to acquire the hookers "parts", let's just say.
This one is a real hoot. Many hilarious bits throughout.Fans of Henenlotter's other films and grindhouse/cult/exploitation fare will not want to miss this one. It delivers all the goods, of course,:gratuitous nudity, cheesy gureilla-filmmaking FX, and laughable dialogue and bits in all other departments. The gore is downplayed for laughs in this one, intentionally, as this is supposed to be strictly for laughs. There's gore-like FX, delivered in hilariously tongue-in-cheek form. For example,(WARNING:POSSIBLE SPOILERS), exploding hookers. Literally, after consuming the "super-crack". Limbs fly all about. Then there's a really twisted ending I don't want to give away, but let's just say, very grotesque and Tales From The Crypt-like.
This is of course, all delivered in a sleazy but light-hearted, tongue-firmly-in-cheek manner. With a seedy background and shady characters throughout. Not for everyone,but surely for those who take all this as a major plus.
The new Blu-Ray courtesy of the great Synapse Films,is outstanding. Presented in anamorphic 1.78:1, colors look sharp and vivid,an appropriate amount of film grain as well. No DNR that I can detect. Given the age and budget of this film, I don't think it's reasonable to expect this to look like a bigger budget or more recent flick. Audio is presented in a fine DTS-HD MA 5.1 Surround,and DTS-HD MA 2.0 stereo. I can't speak for surround effects as I don't have a surround sound system, but audio is sharp and very clear. Will have no trouble hearing anything.
Comes with a solid collection of extras, ported over from the 2006 Unearthed Films DVD including a very informative and entertaining audio commentary with Frank Henenlotter and FX makeup designer Gabe Bartalos. Lots on info on making this movie, MPAA problems, various actors, the film's reception and reputation etc. Very energetic and funny as well. Then a feature with Patty Mullen, former Penthouse Pet and the film's star. A fairly brief(approx 8 min) but fun and energetic interview. Then, we have a segment covering the film's FX, we get some good behind-the-scenes footage filmed during production, as well as interview with Gabe. We even see him at The Bunny Ranch in NV!Good stuff.Jennifer Delora interview follows up, very informative and fun(approx 21 min). She is really good remembering all kinds of stuff,and then some!(approx 19-20 mins).
All in all, I highly recommend this to genre fans, film buffs, film students or anyone looking for a good time. Synapse Films has done a terrific job as always.
Its all in the title. Frankenhooker! You know what your going to get and its a fun ride! In the vein of Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers without all the T&A but you can't have everything. Had to own it.
The VHS of this movie is highly overpriced, like over $100. The Blu-ray was the way to go. Kinda funny that it is way better quality and a fraction of the VHS value. Nostalgia sells, luckily having the blu ray instead doesn’t bother me one bit. Any time a VHS is worth too much money, usually there is a blu ray version of it or DVD for a more reasonable price.
Let's state the obvious: No one who goes to see a movie titled "Frankenhooker" would expect a major drama or an expensive production piece, it's a movie made for fun, and it delivers a nicely wrapped package. Period. This is one of those flicks to see with friends where the laughs and fun are guaranteed; every track runs at its maximun performance: the absurd storyline and the weird characters are mixed with the perfect balance of obscenity and some of the most grotesque and imaginative make-up effects, which are the trademark of this title. The star is Patty Mullen, who is absolutely wonderful, sexy and funny at the main role, and James Lorinz is also at his best as the trashy suburban update of the classic mad doctor. This Synapse DVD edition also comes with a lot of featurettes which are a delight to watch. A must-have for cult cinema and Z-movie lovers.
