Variety Staff Variety 03/26/2009
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. Go to Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out 01/26/2006
The resulting fragmented mess will no doubt keep some in stitches, but it is definitely less than the sum of its body parts. Go to Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times 05/20/2003
3/5
It's the sort of film that would probably be most fun to see around midnight. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com May 8

Henenlotter takes the long way to goofy entertainment, remaining shockingly slow with an endeavor that, amazingly, contains extraordinarily little Frankenhooker. Go to Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast Jun 2
3.5/5
Exactly what you expect (and want) out of a Henenlotter joint, with a superb turn from Patty Mullen as the titular creature. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast May 28
3.5/5
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) Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ashley M Jul 3 an retro love story. See more Tyler B @MitchellsChin Apr 28 The easiest Troma film to watch, which is a compliment to the others, and by no means an insult to this one. See more Jorge H @jorge02 Mar 21 Politically incorrect and so weird, a horror classic and so damn incorrect! See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Mar 5 This was not a good movie. Only good for a handful of laughs. Acting was SOOOO bad. Honestly though, that's what made it funny. It would be a great Halloween movie. This one is for the nerds. See more Staci B. @sbenedum Nov 13 Very good movie. It was thrilling, emotional and had a great ending. I kept saying the whole time "why is Victor so mean to him' See more xpig332 B @RT69712065 Nov 8 Good and stupid!!!!! See more Read all reviews
