One of my favorite 80’s video classics is returning to home video on November 8, care of the good folks at Synapse Films – Frank Henenlotter’s amazing and hilarious FRANKENHOOKER!
SYNAPSE FILMS PRESENTS
Frank Henenlotter’s cult classic puts the blue flesh in Blu-ray with this feast of fiendish 42nd Street fleshpots!
“If you only see one movie this year, it should be FRANKENHOOKER.”
– Bill Murray (Ghostbusters, Zombieland)
From Frank Henenlotter, the creator of the BASKET CASE trilogy and BRAIN DAMAGE, comes FRANKENHOOKER,
a gory horror-comedy twist on the Frankenstein legend.
When Jeffrey Franken’s fiancée is chopped to pieces by the blades of a remote-controlled lawnmower, he uses his dubious medical knowledge to try to bring her back to life. He reassembles his beloved Elizabeth using the body parts of New York City’s finest prostitutes, and resurrects her during a heavy lightning storm. Unfortunately for Jeffrey, his dear Elizabeth’s brain is scrambled and she
runs amok on 42nd Street, turning tricks and bringing high-voltage death to
her customers!
Synapse Films is proud to present the uncut version of FRANKENHOOKER in an all-new 2K high-definition transfer created from original vault materials and digitally re-mastered 5.1 surround sound!
