Frankenhooker
Directed by Frank Henenlotter
An amateur scientist uses the bodies of dead hookers to revive his dead girlfriend, but gets a big surprise when those bad girls' body parts bring out the worst in his innocent sweetheart. BASKET CASE and BAD BIOLOGY director Frank Henenlotter's outrageously funny cult horror favorite became an unlikely VHS hit in 1990, with Bill Murray himself famously proclaiming, "If you see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker." Solid advice then - and now. Don't miss this raunchy and ridiculous good time that'll have you steering clear of the red-light district. Contains strong language and sexual scenes.

i honestly love this movie. it is so camp and corny in the best ways.
Just tell me you're knocking off Re-Animator and Street Trash, that's basically what you're doing. And those movies did their concept way better. So yeah. 1½ skulls.
thought it was the 80's, found out it was the 90's! so camp, so fun. so much messaging and analysis that could be fun, but overall just a fucking fun movie that all should watch .
nah dawg, absolutely spectacular. the definition of camp. feels so 80s but makes sense because it was made in 1990. commentary on how sex workers bodies are used as currency or dehumanized?? yes sir.
I first saw this movie on Cinemax when I was 11 staying up late and supposed to be watching Nick at Nite. It had a huge effect on me and it's one of my favorite movies to this day and still one of the most over the top horror comedies of all time. Frank Henenlotter is a national treasure. Hope he makes more movies before it's too late. 5 skulls
