Frankenhooker is not the worst Frankenstein adaptation out there (hello, Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter) but it ranks low. This 1990 black comedy comes from exploitation maestro, Frank Henenlotter, the director of Basket Case. Like Basket Case, Frankenhooker is sleazy, crass, and gory; but unlike its predecessor, Frankenhooker lacks inspiration. Director: Frank Henenlotter Producer: Edgar IevinsWriters: Frank Henenlotter, Robert MartinCinematographer: Robert M.
