Frankenhooker
Frankenhooker is a 1990 American black comedy horror directed by Frank Henenlotter. Very loosely inspired by Mary Shelleys novel Frankenstein, the film stars James Lorinz as medical school dropout Jeffrey Franken and former Penthouse Pet Patty Mullen as the title character who wears a fatsuit in the beginning of the film.
Frankenhookers initial release was delayed because of difficulty obtaining an R rating from the MPAA the director recalls that one representative of the ratings body actually said, in a phone call to the production companys secretary, Congratulations, youre the first film rated S. And she said, S? For sex? And they said, No, S for shit. To his dismay, Henenlotters conservative parents insisted on attending the films premier in New York City Henenlotter expressed surprise that they were not offended by the exploitative elements.Variety wrote, Frankenhooker is a grisly, grotesque horror comedy recommended only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach. Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote that there is a legitimate sense of the absurd lurking within Frank Henenlotters Frankenhooker but it is overshadowed by special effects and elements that recall softcore pornography. Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called it a hilarious, totally outrageous grinandgore comedy. ........
