Frankenhooker (1990)
It's beyond madness as bedroom doctor James Lorinz loses his girlfriend to a lawnmower accident so he takes as many of her body parts as possible to try to reanimate her. Sadly parts of her are a bit too mulched so Lorinz goes to Times Square to pick up as many prostitutes as possible in order to find the best body parts to work with. Once put together, naturally, the Frankenhooker goes on a killing spree.
A black comedy parody of both Frankenstein and Re-Animator from gloop auteur Frank Henenlotter. The director of Brain Damage and Bad Biology isn't one to shy away from grue so we get head drills and exploding hookers a-go-go. Awash with nudity, outrageous characters and great dialogue, this is classic 80's horror comedy at it's best...even if it did come out in 1990. Frankenhooker is indeed a terrifying tale of sluts and bolts.
