Variety Staff Variety Lorinz has some inspired moments of self-absorbed craziness as Jeffrey, and Mullen reveals a fine talent for physical comedy when Elizabeth returns as the lumbering, mind-blown Frankenhooker. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out The resulting fragmented mess will no doubt keep some in stitches, but it is definitely less than the sum of its body parts. Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times It's the sort of film that would probably be most fun to see around midnight. Rated: 3/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast Exactly what you expect (and want) out of a Henenlotter joint, with a superb turn from Patty Mullen as the titular creature. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Another classic Henenlotter text, featuring a gem of a comedic performance by Patty Mullen. Equal parts exploitation and comedy, Frankenhooker is delightful and surprisingly progressive (minus the super crack) Rated: 3.5/5 May 28, 2025 Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies It has all the bawdy elements of late 20th century exploitation but plays so much tamer – and at times downright silly – to the modern eye. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Nick O James Lorinz deserves an Oscar for his performance as the New Jersey mad scientist who rebuilds his fiancé after a tragic lawnmower accident, using discarded exploded hooker parts. This flick is pure genius! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Anton H Love a hearty serving of dark humor? Here’s a smorgasbord! This is an EASY candidate for the zaniest, most ridiculously satisfying example of utterly shameless schlock and low-budget “Gore-ror” I have ever seen. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Landon J A very forgettable one. Some good and interesting moments keep you interested but won't satisfy in the end. Sadly one that fumbles it's premise and lacks the kind of thing that would draw you to a title like this to begin with. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Jens B This film has everything: hookers, crack, exploding hookers, Frankenhooker, death by lawnmower, a one-eyed brain-pet, a mountain of boobs, New York's most disgusting (but sexpositive) bar, pervy old man – a delight! Chef's kiss! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review chris h Horrible even for a B movie...don't bother Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Finn P Best movie ever created tbh Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
