Death by lawnmower is not the end of the strange twists in this case.

A medical student sets out to recreate his decapitated fiancée by building her a new body made of Manhattan street prostitutes.

Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case/Brain Damage) brings us this trashy - but fun - blend of the Frankenstein legend with Re-Animator's comedic spice. Naturally this isn't one for the taste conscious highbrow peeps, for this is a purposely bloody tongue in cheek black comedy horror farce. It's awash with exploding body parts, chaotic everyday Americana scenarios and plenty of gloopy schlock. Cast... read the rest.
