Product Description
Product Description
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 Fiancée 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 Elizabeth's brain is scrambled and she runs amok on 42nd Street, turning tricks and bringing high-voltage death to her customers!

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.
