How to use "Boneshaker" in context?
Boneshaker is a 1973 horror film directed and written by Tobe Hooper. The film tells the story of William "Boneshaker" Thorne (aka Frank Cotton), a surgeon who turns to brutality to keep his insular and dangerous community of mutants in line.
Despite mixed reviews, Boneshaker is often cited as a seminal film in the slasher genre, as it introduced the character of the brutal, psychopathic killer. The film has had a significant influence on subsequent horror films, and it was awarded a Scarecrow Award for excellence in horror film innovation in 1981.
