Looking for some action? The 1990 cult classic horror movie comes to Palace Nova!

"If you only see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker." - Bill Murray

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 New York sex workers.

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.
