Dr. Hackenstein is a man trying to get his wife back together. With the right prescription for big laughs and gut-busting gore, the film follows the demented Doctor who would have his wife resurrected with the help of some dim grave robbers and a few hapless lost girls whose body parts make for a better built woman. Debuting with critical acclaim from horror magazine and non-genre movie critics alike, Dr. Hackenstein predicted the trend of mixing gory horror elements with wacky black comedy, and is a must-have for fans of contemporary classics like Re-Animator and Frankenhooker.
