Frank Henenlotter’s films are hard to nail down. They’re not conventional horror films so much as they are bizarre dramas featuring extreme (and often fantastical) physical deformity, addiction, sex, violence and bloodshed. All filtered through a darkly comic lens. In much the same way David Cronenberg’s films are not for everyone, the same could be said for Frank Henenlotter’s films. But if you haven't seen his films, you're missing out. Join me for a look at some of the most boldly original films of the horror and exploitation genre, and the man who made them. Welcome to the sexy, violent, bloody and laugh-out-loud funny films of Frank Henenlotter.
