TRAILER

Synopsis: 

Jeffrey Franken, a med school dropout with a proclivity for bizarre experiments, just lost his fiancée, Elizabeth Shelley, to a tragic lawnmower accident. Our heartbroken protagonist comes to terms with his loss in the only way that makes sense... bringing her back to life! Cobbling body parts together from New York's ladies of the night, Jeffrey reanimates Elizabeth, but she's born again with not only a new body but a brand-new attitude and a chip on her shoulder! Frank Henenlotter's first flick of the 90's is a ghoulishly good n' gross time, in the tradition of his earlier works like Basket Case and Brain Damage, which we screened for Cicada Underground for Halloween in 2023!
