What critics compared Frankenhooker to
…to more cult-level films like Frankenhooker, this movie celebrates them all…
I’ll take “Poor Things” or even “Frankenhooker” over this any day — more fun and more effective.
…to just jaw-dropping schlocky (Frankenhooker – “wanna date?”)
The 1990 camp classic “Frankenhooker”? A guy.
…and the underrated “Frankenhooker.”
There’s been Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Frankenweenie, Frankenhooker, and my favorite, Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein.
Frank Henenlotter’s Frankenhooker (1 ¾ stars, 1990)…
The story has been moulded into numerous adaptations, parodies and spoofs, including Young Frankenstein (1974), Blackenstein (1973), Frankenhooker (1990), Frankenweenie (2012), and, most recently, Lisa Frankenstein (2024).
