Frankenhooker 1998 Horror Movie Review

Jeffery works for the electric company by day and as a mad scientist of sorts by night.


After a gift for dear ol’ dad runs over his fiancé leaving her is pieces, Jeffery finds himself unable to move on with his life. This could be do, in part, to the fact that he successfully bogarted his fiance’s head, which he keeps in an estrogen based goo in his mom’s basement.


Hell bent on recreating his fiance, he scours the red light district for the perfect female figure (but not before a scene in which he has a romantic dinner with the head that left me in stitches.) After a meeting with Zoro: a very buff, extremely greasy pimp, Jeffery arranges a date with several of Zoro’s best ladies. What follows is a whirlwind of boobs, bad acting, poorly designed exploding stunt hookers (which apprear to have been filled with firecrackers and sparklers) and crack. lots and lots of crack.


The film then follows a heavily R-rated Bride of Frankenstein route. Enter: Frankenhooker. She has the head of his fiance and a body constructed of bits and pieces from nearly all the prostitutes he had partied with earlier. She somehow obtained the urge to prostitute herself… and dispose of anyone that is unlucky enough to have a go at her. While Frankenhooker actually doesn’t make her appearance until the last 1/4 of the movie, her time on screen is quite hilarious.


As a horror flick, this movie is terrible. As a gross-out comedy, it’s pretty fantastic. Definitely a must-own in my book.
