Queen's Film Theatre, Belfast | Belfast, NI
The incomparable and twisted Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case, Brain Damage) presents the greatest transmutation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein you've ever seen - with an iconic performance from Patty Mullen.After accidentally murdering the love of his life in a bizarre gardening accident, Jeffrey Franken (James Lorinz) decides to reanimate her with the help of a dozen sex workers who exploded when he introduced them to a lethal new drug called Supercrack. Little does he know that a good recipe requires the correct ingredients. Jeffrey isn't putting his life back together; he's building...a Frankenhooker!
A warped mash-up between John Waters’ 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 while paying loving tribute to the worst excesses of the American Grindhouse.
Screening as part of NI Science Festival. Established in 2014, NI Science Festival has grown to become the largest celebration of its kind on the island of Ireland and in its relatively short lifespan became one of the leading Science Festivals in the whole of Europe.
