My Take
Frank Henenlotter is exactly the kind of filmmaker I root for: a Long Island kid who turned limited budgets into gleefully deranged horror comedies like Basket Case and Frankenhooker. What I love is his refusal to be tasteful. He'd rather make something unforgettable than something polished, and that scrappy, idea-driven energy is the very heart of B-movie cinema. The fact that he's also a serious film historian tells me this isn't mere shock for its own sake; it's the work of a devoted movie obsessive. I have enormous affection for directors who chase their weird passions all the way to a cult masterpiece.
