Frankenhooker

Frankenhooker – Screening on March 4, 7, 9!

Advance tickets now available for Frankenhooker!

Presented by Troma, and American Genre Film Archive!

After making horror history with Basket Case and Brain Damage, the incomparable Frank Henenlotter unleashed Frankenhooker—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 and Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator, 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. Bill Murray was quoted as saying “If you see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker.”

“hilarious, totally outrageous grin-and-gore comedy” (Los Angeles Times)

“gleefully absurdist…Patty Mullen does a terrific job” (Slant)

“an immensely charming little oddity…It’s the sort of film that you can watch repeatedly” (Eye For Film)

“you will not forget this movie in a hurry.” (The Movie Scene)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
