gwnightscream This 1990 horror comedy stars James Lorinz and Patty Mullen. This tells about young man, Jeffrey (Lorinz) who is an aspiring scientist. After his fiancée, Elizabeth (Mullen) dies in an accident, he preserves her decapitated head and decides to recreate her body using fresh parts of dead prostitutes. This is a good send-up of "Frankenstein" & "Bride of Frankenstein" and Lorinz & Mullen are great in it. Check this out if you're into horror comedies.
Smoreni Zmaj This Henenlotter guy is really something special. Basket Case 1 & 2 are nut, Brain Damage is completely insane and Basket Case 2 and Brain Damage contain 2 ultimately craziest sex scenes I have ever seen. But Frankenhooker exceeds all previous achievements. Combination of Jack the Ripper and Dr. Frankenstein with silly twist at the end. It's categorized as horror/comedy, but to me it isn't either funny or scary. But it's full of naked ladies to compensate. In my vocabulary this kind of movie goes under "Wtf I just watched" genre. Objectively, this is complete crap, but I have to recommend it and I will definitely watch it again some time, cause I'm thrilled with its level of greatardation. Its quality deserves 1 or maybe 2, but it's retardaedal for 10, so whatta hell, I'll give it6/10P.S. Just in case it's less obvious than I thought:Retardaedal = retarded + daedalGreatardation = greatness + retardation :D
mikey-242-435767 Just finished watching Frankenhooker. In short, this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. If you really watch it, there are little "under the breath" comments that knocked my socks off. The little mutterings by our hero are just hilarious. I wonder how many of them were ad-libs? Some sounded like it because they were so very natural.SPOILER Alert (maybe) Then there are the exploding whores. They show them going off in various, interesting ways really well. Then the way Jeffrey's creation acts on the first attempt is just too much. It is so very funny. Then he magically fixes her and all hell breaks loose.And the stuff that crawls out of the freezer near the end is just too much. They set up the freezer reveal way back in act 1 (or 2, depending on how you count it) and then the payoff is long in coming but well worth the wait.I was NOT expecting such a movie. I have had it on the shelf for a while but was avoiding it until tonight. Sorry I waited. Think "ReAnimator" but with more humor. Not jokes but you will be laughing. Good job Henenlotter. On Brain Damage's commentary, they talk about this one so I had to see it.And, no, I am not related to anybody in the cast/crew or paid by anyone. This is just a fun romp. The horror is minimal and "cartoon horror" is WAY outrun by the humor. Physical and via dialog. Watch closely to get it all.Movie Mikey
zetes Hysterical horror comedy, and just a great way to start October 2014! After Patty Mullen gets run over by her mad scientist boyfriend, James Lorinz's automated lawnmower, only her head remains intact. He decides to Frankenstein her with a bunch of hooker parts - which he gets by getting a bunch of prostitutes to smoke the super-crack he's invented, which makes them explode. The movie is more than worth watching just for the exploding hookers, but it's pretty awesome everywhere else, too. For one thing, it's actually funny. Lorinz has an amusing schtick. When Mullen is re-incarnated, half-possessed by the hooker parts, she goes nuts, running around town hooking herself like crazy (those who choose to go with her end up in pieces).
