Absolutely ridiculous, but worth watching. Me and my partner were in stitches (pun intended). If you like a silly, bad horror, this is it.

There's no question, of course, that "Frankenhooker" is not a "good" movie, but as a really dumb B-movie, this unconventional Frankenstein adaptation works extremely well. It helps that at no moment does it take itself even remotely seriously. The actors are awful, and the jokes are ultra-flat—in other words, just as things are supposed to be in this kind of production. At the same time, the effects are so lousy that they're actually good again—really, nothing about this flick seems "high quality". With the right expectations, though, the film is a fun watch. If you don't like horror comedies, you should keep your distance from this one, but for a trash movie night, I can definitely recommend "Frankenhooker".

This has some hilarious scenes and surprisingly sharp social satire. However, I don’t think it’s quite entertaining enough to cover up for its B-movie DNA. For every fun ‘bad’ scene, there are an equal amount of scenes where you’re just watching really bad acting and awkward dialogue. It never forgets to be campy, but it’s still kinda boring nonetheless. The cinematography is also pretty bland, while the score is way too overbearing for the most part. If none of that bothers you because it’s meant to be schlock, you might enjoy it more than me. The shitty artistic choices are definitely intentional, but to me they’re not as fun or clever as something like _Re-animator_. 4.5/10

Streamed via Shudder "A terrifying tale of sluts & bolts." You got exactly what you expect. Wacky, cheesy, and over the top but also insightful.

Death by lawnmower is not the end of the strange twists in this case.

A medical student sets out to recreate his decapitated fiancée by building her a new body made of Manhattan street prostitutes.

Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case/Brain Damage) brings us this trashy - but fun - blend of the F More
