Synopsis
In the tongue-in-cheek horror comedy 'Frankenhooker', a young medical student Victor Frankenstein, played by James Lorinz, accidentally kills his girlfriend Elizabeth when his remote-controlled lawnmower goes haywire. Desperate to bring her back to life, Victor resorts to using the body parts of deceased prostitutes to reconstruct her. However, chaos ensues when Elizabeth is resurrected as a seductive and murderous 'Frankenhooker'. Filled with dark humor, over-the-top gore, and a unique spin on the classic Frankenstein story, this cult classic from 1990 delivers a wild and entertaining ride that defies expectations.
