A man’s saga of his fiancée being decapitated and how he rebuilds her from the body parts of prostitutes – exactly the homage Mary Shelley would have wanted. It absolutely bombed at the box office but has spawned one of the most significant cult followings among horror fans. New York in the 80s has never been more frightening as our Frankenstein Elizabeth terrorizes 42nd Street. (Frank Henenlotter, United States, 1987, 85min)
“If you only see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker.” – Bill Murray
