This is FH before his movies went really over the top funny. A great concept with an amazing, grimy, "pre-Guiliani/Disney" NYC atmosphere similar to MANIAC. Though Frankenhooker is cool, you're gonna appreciate BASKET CASE that much more because you're seeing it after.<br /><br />BAD BIOLOGY is co-written by rapper R.A. The Rugged Man, so it's got a different feel...still worth watching if only for the back up dancers in the music video scene.B.STANKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558201636404539086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-38079090166032390662010-05-26T18:33:53.168-07:002010-05-26T18:33:53.168-07:00the correct order of awesome is as follows:

It's such a shame since he hadn't directed in years. There's a charm to his films that's missing from Biology.

(I'm talking about the original.) It is my hands-down favorite Henenlotter film.<br /><br />Not only is it kind of audaciously naive and A-for-effort/low budget charming, but it has that same gritty New York/non-permit/guerrilla style going for it. In that regard, I got a charge out of watching it again recently for the same reasons you did watching FRANKENHOOKER, Brian.<br /><br />(And I don't know if BASKET CASE was filmed in sequence or not, but the quality of the movie seems to improve as it goes along. A very weird observation some friends of mine and I had after that recent viewing.)<br /><br />--JaredThe Inspectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594240478578332525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-4603682229991619162010-05-26T05:56:56.282-07:002010-05-26T05:56:56.282-07:00I can't decide whether Brain Damage or Basket ...I can't decide whether Brain Damage or Basket Case is Henenlotter's masterpiece. Frankenhooker and Bad Biology are great, but a little beneath those two, followed (not too closely) by the Basket Case sequels, which are fun in their own right. Brain Damage has a similarly likable lead and a blow job scene that will blow your mind. <br /><br />Also, check out James Lorinz as the doorman in Street Trash. He pretty much steals the movie.brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735195151662028189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-55504748617147608442010-05-25T23:52:19.003-07:002010-05-25T23:52:19.003-07:00I entirely concur with the above comment.

And even Henenlotter's weaker films like BASKET CASE 3: THE PROGENY and BAD BIOLOGY are well worth seeing. <br /><br />Of course, I'd put SHATTER DEAD in the "semi-masterpieces" column...The Understatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01464321443508202198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-4897374636236910162010-05-25T21:41:04.711-07:002010-05-25T21:41:04.711-07:00its amazing. you loved it. admit it.
