After making horror history with Basket Case (1982) and Brain Damage (1988), the incomparable Frank Henenlotter unleashed Frankenhooker (1990) — the greatest transmutation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein that you’ll ever see. After accidentally murdering the love of his life, Jeffrey Franken decides to reanimate her with the help of a drug named Supercrack . . . and the body parts of a dozen streetwalkers. Feeling like a twisted mash-up between John Waters’s Serial Mom (1994) and Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator (1985), Frankenhooker is a bad taste triumph that revels in sublime camp, gloopy gore, and neon-soaked dreamscapes. Plus an iconic performance by Patty Mullen as the eponymous title character.
