This is a really bad movie. Not bad in a fun or campy way, just bad as in lazy.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy trashy fun horror comedy type movies. But this is so poorly written that it is unwatchable.
You know that Writing 101 lesson when they tell you "show, don't tell"? Watch this movie if you want to see why that's so important. Frankenhooker is all telling and no showing.
There are literally scenes where the main character talks to himself for five minutes trying to explain the plot of the movie. The plot is simple enough that these boring soliloquies are completely unnecessary.
And there are other scenes where, I guess, the writer was too lazy to write dialogue, so the characters just scream.
The Frankenhooker actress is funny and can contort her mouth at odd angles. I don't think she ever started in anything else, which is unfortunate. Her time on the screen is only thing even remotely entertaining about the movie.
Thankfully for the movie-going public, the rest of the cast and crew never did much else.
