Henenlotter Revisited
Here at Attack from Planet B we would like to give a warm welcome to our newest writer, Dominic O’Brien. For he first contribution, he has supplied us with a wonderfull article on the works of director Frank Henenlotter. So please set back, read and enjoy this latest addition to the world of attack From Planet B.
Although he only has six directorial features under his belt (in little under 30 years), Frank Henenlotter is still considered a B-Movie pioneer. The king of modern day exploitation film, if you will. All of which got me thinking, there really isn’t that much in the way of articles or written info on Mr Henenlotter, particularly since he went into semi-retired after Basket Case 3. So I thought I would show my appreciation for this crazed eccentric and un-pc film maker with his gloriously distasteful sense of humor. PRESS PLAY ►
It’s the 80’s, it has teenagers and it’s set in a high school, all the ingredients you need for a traditional 80’s teen high school movie. But this is a Troma production, so don’t expect your normal run-of-the-mill fayre here, oh no. Add in some gore, gorse-out moments, sex, drugs, biker gangs and basement dwelling radioactive monsters and you’ll be on the right track.
