The incomparable and twisted Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case, Brain Damage) presents the greatest transmutation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein you've ever seen - with an iconic performance from Patty Mullen.
After accidentally murdering the love of his life in a bizarre gardening accident, Jeffrey Franken (James Lorinz) decides to reanimate her with the help of a dozen sex workers who exploded when he introduced them to a lethal new drug called Supercrack. Little does he know that a good recipe requires the correct ingredients. Jeffrey isn't putting his life back together; he's building...a Frankenhooker!
A warped mash-up between John Waters’ 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 while paying loving tribute to the worst excesses of the American Grindhouse.
