Frankenhooker

I very much enjoyed this twisted spoof; it's inspired. The tone is perfect, but I give a lot of credit to James Lorinz and his amusing patter. I think most B-movie guys (you know who you are) will like this. It gave me a BIG smile!

The "special" effects are deliberately bad, but match the tongue-in-cheek story. I may even track down the unrated version, which is two minutes longer.

How Director Frank Henenlotter kept everyone on the same page here is a mystery. No one stood out for (inappropriately) bad acting. The weird set pieces and oddball props work great. There is a nice progression from bizarre low-key humor to complete absurdity. It's really well constructed.

I happily give this six (6) stars.

PS Patty Mullen is a poster child for a blonde who IMHO looks better with black hair.
