Very loosely inspired by Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, the film was directed by Frank Henenlotter and stars James Lorinz as medical school drop-out Jeffrey Franken and former Penthouse Pet Patty Mullen as the title character (who wears a fatsuit in the beginning of the film).
Films such as Basket Case 2, Frankenhooker, Maniac Cop, McBain, and Red Scorpion were released theatrically and often found a wider audience when released on home video and on cable television.
Unearthed has imported, amongst others, Rubber's Lover, Pinocchio 964, Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre, Aftermath, City of Rott, ICHI-1, Bone Sickness, Frankenhooker, Philosophy of a Knife and its sequel, Dead Fury, Flexing with Monty, Junk and the Guinea Pig series.
