The film takes obvious influence from the classic Frankenstein story, and it should appeal to anyone that is a fan of cheesy 80’s gorefests. Of course, this was released in 1990, but that’s incidental. As mentioned, the main character’s girlfriend is killed in a lawnmower accident. The accident itself is a comic masterpiece; it’s so absurdly silly! Anyway, this accident leads our hero to the brink of madness (to which his mother responds to by asking him if he would like a sandwich), and he decides to make his girlfriend a new body from the parts of various prostitutes that he picks up. Of course, it doesn’t quite go to plan, which leads him into all manner of weird troubles. James Lorinz takes the lead role of Jeffrey Franken (and his girlfriend’s surname is Shelly…can you spot the tribute?). Lorinz is great as the hero for the movie, he spends a lot of it acting on his own and he more than holds the audience’s interest with his speeches and great accent. A film like this needs an offbeat star; and it has one in Lorinz.<\/p>\n
