Frankenhooker (1990)
first watched on november 1, 2024 - rewatched march 13, 2025
genres: horror, comedy, and science fiction
a terrifying tale of sluts and bolts
summary: after jeffrey's bride to be, elizabeth, dies in a lawnmower accident. jeffrey comes up with a plan to bring her back to live. you see, jeffrey is sort of a doctor in his spare time but has been kicked out of several medical schools but his great plan is to take prostitutes' body parts to reassemble elizabeth since some body parts were lost.
my review: i love this movie so much. i'm not good at expressing my thoughts well but i think this is peak camp. what's not to love? exploding bodies everywhere! there's the feminist commentary as well, jeffrey multiple times is seen drilling his head that damages his head and that makes him come up with ideas/thoughts that it's okay to go forward with his plan to murder the prostitutes with super crack. also briefly, on television was a woman who was advocating for hookers and wanting to legalize prostitution in order to make it safer for sex workers. there's zorro, a pimp, who notices his bitches' body parts are attached to elizabeth's body and even as pieces of his bitches he claims ownership of their bodies. and the whole objectification of women's bodies, when jeffrey wakes up with his new body in the end of the movie he may have realized what he did to elizabeth was in fact wrong but we never see if he got that. just was a fun watch and i like the messages behind it! i highly recommend to watch!
5/5 stars
favorite quote: "WANNA DATE ? GOING OUT ? LOOKING FOR SOME ACTION ? WANT SOME COMPANY ? GOT ANY MONEY ?" that part cracked me up
