Frankenhooker
I. Fucking. Love this movie. Oh my god.
From start to finish it is an INSANE ride, and genuinely everything I’ve ever loved in weird obscure horror.
The colour, for one thing?? Jesus Christ this movie is SO uniquely gorgeous and so so so very 90’s. I didn’t even need to look it up to know that.
The best and most obvious comparison I could even make for this thing is reanimator, because of course it is. But it’s like reanimator on SUPER CRACK.
Jeffery is HILARIOUS as a main character and genuinely almost everything he says gets a laugh out of me, I could follow him for SO much longer.
The actual acquiring of the hookers feels more like a comedy sketch than anything, I couldn’t stop laughing the entire time watching this fumbly akward mess of a dude.
The special effects are SO nostalgic to me. The styrofoam bodies, the explosions, the lightning outside, everything evokes feelings of the 80’s-90’s in terms of special effects.
Did I mention how GODDAMN FUNNY THIS IS.
HE MAKES SUPER CRACK. HE KILLS A GERBIL WITH SUPER CRACK. HE GETS MAD BECAUSE SOMEONE IS TALKING SWEDISH TO HIM IN TIME SQUARE THIS MOVIE IS COMEDIC GOLD.
I haven’t even touched on frankenhooker herself because SHE DOESNT EVEN SHOW UP UNTIL THE LAST LIKE 20 MINUTES AND GENUINELY I WAS HAVING SO MUCH FUN I WAS ANTICIPATING IT CAUSE I KNEW ID ONLY HAVE MORE.
Honestly the only real complaint I have is it’s a little mean, (but honest to god not as mean as I was expecting which is kinda hilarious for a movie about hookers in the 90’s.) and zoro’s actor was painfully bad. Hilarious anyway though.
The ending was also silly as hell and I literally could not love this movie more omg
