Frankenhooker
(1990)

ah. pepsi sponsorship is more common than i thought i guess
for some reason the camera is clearly handheld and its makin me feel a lil sick guess were in new jersey. again i think. our main characters are jeffrey and his fiancee, and also the brain jeffrey's been trying to resurrect or something idk what hes doing with it shes apparently supposed to be fat. love how they tried to make her look heavier by putting her in a dumpy outfit
doesnt work lads oh this reminds me i wanna watch dead alive ugh someones about to run herself over with a lawnmower damn that is some flashy title design huh i wonder who spike is. anyway the intro sequence is overtop of jeff mumbling to himself as he writes stuff down on an anatomical poster
now im wondering if close up intros are super common and i just forgot
oh its the same director as brain damage btw thats why im watchin it he fixed a crooked picture by making it crooked the other way. i think uve made it pretty clear jeff's got some issues movie
haha fuckin christ the news broadcast about the girl's death said "a berserk mower caused her personality to rain down on her horrified family" could you imagine if they did news like that
>calls her a tossed human salad
jesus ok movie we get it omg his name is franken hahahaha
i went on a date with a boy once that almost had the same first name and his last name was also franken. hope hes not into making berserk lawnmowers now jersey.
what is this town name.
come on damn jeff already matches complection with brian from brain damage and were only ten minutes in didnt think the film would open with hi mum i think i might be capable of murder now but here we are his mums response to jeff saying he thinks hes going mad
thanks mum. hahahahaha jesus shes just a head
this feels weirdly junji ito esque so far
i like how he told his mum i think im going crazy when hes already so far beyond insane hes going on a date with a head
also everyones got a thick nj accent me too, jeff
he pronounces stewardesses as stoodesses
cant wait to hear this man say hooker hes drilling into his own head????
oh they did show at the start he has knowledge of brains and where to hit them to make certain things happen
still. weird
also what is it with this director and brains across the river he said
i assume this is new yoak love how he put on creep glasses to look more like a john i get the feeling this is spike. but this is really early on so it seems a little unlikely man the people in the bg are serving some looks well. this look is wii fit trainer on a night out, but still shaggy??? ha, subtle. (I cant get a shot where this guy isnt standing in front of it) movie.
film.
piece of cinematic fiction.
really.
anyway jeff is making a extreme version of a drug now cos everyone from the environment hes getting them from is addicted, i guess. I know the director made brain damage as a metaphor for addiction as he used to be an addict himself so I guess hes used that once again for this film
also legalize prostitution. that seems to be another message
interesting way to represent it. yeah very clever Oop i hallucinated my fiancee into the television better drill my head again, that'll fix it sweetie yes you are honey you made the crack
oh hes justifying it cos theyre already addicts so hes just speeding up the progress
i realise now i should maybe check the trigger list again i dont remember if anyone's uncomfy with the subject matter of this film oops
ok i checked and i dont think so lol WHY IS THERE A GUINEA PIG
YOU BETTER NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE GUINEA PIG
Lou: SORRY THIS MOVIE IS CALLED FRANKENHOOKER????
he did something to the guinea pig. :(
the effect was beyond silly though so it wasnt bad i suppose
YES. YES IT IS HAHA
dont ya love horror movies
Lou: oh my god
aaaah. with titles like that how can you not
Lou: when did this come out????
1990
so its not even that old really
Lou: love it. we love 1990s camp and other bullshit after watching a buncha luxeria i cannot take the word gout seriously
they think he rented the mfor a party btw. i dont know why theyre ok with him measuring them but i guess as long as he pays looks! also guess wii fit trainer at night only has one look
one of the girls has nicknamed jeffrey jersey boy which would indicate they interact with so few men from jersey its worthy a nickname which.
like idk but seems unlikely to me
wait why am i thinking about that anyway jeffs having second thoughts about committing mass murder oh nvm he just tried to get them to find the drugs.
oh he only meant to kill one of them, not all. if only the title didnt betray the plot
Lou: "It's super drugs! Holy shit!" is such a 90s-2000s phrase
hahaha ill see if i can screenshot more silly sentences this guy is a pimp and i swear ive seen him get punched in the face by arnold schwarzenegger in another movie
i was wrong. he was however in brain damage, where he is buttass naked as hes taking a shower and the camera lovingly records his backside as he does so
which i didnt screenshot. sorry
today i learned some women can flex their pectoral muscles.
i.
somehow. that never occurred to me. everyones havin a fantastic time except for jeff movie.
film.
reel of moving images.
really.
>they explode
the effect is so bad HOLY SHIIIIIIT
suppose it'll make assembling his gf outta them a bit easier. GIVE ME YOUR RINGS
i swear they made them outta paper mache, then blew up the paper mache.
thats what it looks like. >gets pelted in the face with a flying disembodied head
havin evil dead flashbacks here.
i would not pay that special effects artist much for this one tho. god damn. u can say that again jeffrey.
id censor it but cmon those bits dont even look real. oh well. oh. okay.
oh he did say he was gonna do his gf first.
like how are u gonna put the rest back together then haha the final girl had a knife she was gonna stab him with and now its in the bg, stuck in a sofa as hes cleaning up the room. thats a funny detail
i still dont know who spike is. hm. somehow the remains of ten grown people fit into this single trash bag
maybe jeffreys really good at space management jeff.
jeff.
why did you bother to put all of them into that bag if youre gonna carry one leg around by itself.
mr franken.
what is this.
i should really call this "scarlet taking the bad movie too seriously" the series waht are u gonna make her a cyborg why are you soldering this looks like some kinda art piece you could find in Leatherface's home yeah sure why not
gotta give it to our main man he fits the ridiculous script really well with his acting oh thank god please tell me were almost done with playing sex worker girlfriend jigsaw the final detail is his fiancees head. YOU CALL THAT A DETAIL
THE WHOLE REASON UR DOING THIS except for my personal psyche.
that ive drilled holes in.
multiple times.
and i thought youd lose respect for me for trying to watch little nicky. now look where we are oh yeah its also classic frankenstein in that hes using the lightning to do it btw
ill admit if it doesnt work I'll be disappointed. but i figure the bodys just gonna explode. dunno what jeff's gonna do after that...
drill himself some more, i figure
the gore is bad but the set design is pretty good at least
he better shout shes alive or something ah shit the lightning bolt hit the box full of bodyparts. dont tell me. please dont ok hes bringin the thing back down and shes standing. thats genuinely a lil unnerving. neat damn. elisabeth's lookin like a mindless self indulgence album cover shes doin this whole thing btw. just not as skillful its... its kind of pretty?
Majo: very pretty, wtf??
might just be cos i really like frankenstein monsters tho idk. oops. nice shoes elisabeth!
anyway she knocked jeffrey out cos i guess she doesnt have a personality nice walk liz
suppose u cant blame her those legs did not come from the same person iirc
oh god the whole fridge is alive... jesus christ ok so elisabeth went back to the new york streets and fuckin evil danny devito shows up whoda thought 69 jokes date back all the way to 1990. maybe she can offer him an egg in this trying time. she talks btw but everything she says are lines originally said by the other girls
i wonder whats gonna happen. like shes technically a zombie but. idk
oh one of them did try to kill jeffrey at one point tho so maybe she'll channel her at some point for lou. more weird language
also elisabeth appears to be on fire or something
idk theres smoke
uh. she somehow redirected a current of electricity into him and he exploded.
but he was ok with it. he is dead. but happy about it, i guess. no hate on short kings but i didnt realise jeff was this small
also lookin like michael j fox here
..jesus christ i think that big guy was supposed to be dutch. weird shes not doing anything here but i kinda like this shot idk
oh shes taking his money but i mean shes just standing there often overlooked, and down to earth
so many short kings
oh. hes not much of a king
and now hes dead
if she gets close to people she electrocutes them i guess ohh shes spike!
the first thing we see her do is beat a man in arm wrestling men keep hitting on her even though shes covered in stitches and five different skin colours at once
why can i still believe it.
(shes eating pretzels btw. they set it up at the start that elisabeth really likes pretzels. COS SHES FAT) oof you can see where the prosthetics start and end in this shot. thats too bad this line was prefaced by an "ooh honey!"
another line for u.
ok so her pussy just electrocuted someone to death because its this director.
in brain damage someone dies via dick so. guess we're even now her head just. well. remember that thing from harry potter with nearly headless nick
that. but with a lot of electrics jesus jeff that is quite the reinforcement
"i didnt want you to turn out this way" says man who put his fiancee in sex worker clothing
huh thinkin of it they still havent shown the inside of the fridge. this line better have been in the trailer or i swear to god omg lizzy she woke up its her now when u gotta explain to ur fiancee she was blown to bits in a freak lawnmower accident and that you stole her head from the crime scene so you could put it on a different body. awkward
lookin at it funnily enough jeff looks healthier in this scene than he has for the rest of the film ooh lizzy's all like jeff you can save people with this knowledge!
i didnt even consider that
then again he hasnt told her the part about how her body isnt hers. so. uh. yeah. hm she noticed. uhhh jeff i think that rest migh not be very long in your case i hope she kills him fuck this guy omg him calling their names made the fridge react. Yes one of them is nicknamed monkey idk ah yes the drugs, the message of the movie.
dunno why its wrapped in a shell of frankenstein horror but here we are
oh christ this has turned into silent hill/the thing
just. with a lower budget lizzie over here like so that just happened well jeff its a crazy story
>she put him on a female body
shes clearly teaching him a lesson for trying to put her into a "perfect" body
haha god. that movie was stupid but fun. i think i like this directors work
i think i like that the director clearly knows the plot is fucking insane and stupid and he uses it in the best way possible
idk maybe its cos i grew up with dick maas' work but I had a lot of fun watching it
as i said i do think there was a message, brain damage had one too, the way he depicts it is just really out there. which is kinda neat christ im glad i didnt look up the poster lol i legit didnt know he succeeded in bringing her to life plus god thats a tacky poster.
also she doesnt appear until past the midway point so its kind of a spoiler in a weird way
Majo: this seemed very interesting!!
its fuckin wild lol but if you like bizarre horror that doesnt take itself seriously its a good watch
i think i recently discovered im a big fan of that genre
