Frankenhooker (2025 restoration) – Blu-ray – Synapse Films

Description

Frankenhooker (Blu-ray) presents Frank Henenlotter’s outrageous cult horror-comedy in a new 2025 restoration created from the archival uncut original 35mm vault materials. Medical student Jeffrey Franken refuses to accept the death of his fiancée Elizabeth after a horrific lawnmower accident leaves her body in pieces. Determined to restore her to life, he assembles a new body using the remains of Manhattan prostitutes lured by his homemade drug “Super Crack,” but his experiment creates an uncontrollable monster instead of the woman he loved.

This Blu-ray includes the same comprehensive supplemental package as the 4K edition, featuring an audio commentary with Frank Henenlotter and Gabe Bartalos, A Salad That Was Once Named Elizabeth, A Stitch in Time: The Make-Up Effects of Frankenhooker, Turning Tricks: Jennifer Delora Remembers Frankenhooker, Jennifer Delora’s photo scrapbook, and the original theatrical trailer, along with a remastered 5.1 surround sound mix.

Released by Synapse Films, this region-free Blu-ray presents the complete 85-minute uncut feature in its acclaimed 2025 restoration.
