Lisa Frankenstein

It's horror, its teen comedy its nostalgia all wrapped up in a perfect package appealing to the future Tim Burton's and Robert Smith's of the world. Especially if they are girls.

I watched this movie and I'm strange enough to understand where Lisa Frankenstein is coming from but there is a refreshing female gauze that covers the film nicely. I mean, I feel like I would have missed something watching this at home instead of with a theatre filled with women who laughed out loud to situations I just found passingly amusing. I thought this movie was great and thought it was great that the movie was not directed towards me.

Lisa Frankenstein is for those strange kids in high school but especially if you are that weird girl.

This movie is an insane humorous romp and I loved it.

Love the 80s technicolor vibes. The fun fashion and hair are always a treat. Light body horror but nothing too repulsive. Weird off beat writing and a bizarre love story that is so bizarre I needed to see how it played out haha. If you want a serious horror flick I can guarantee this won't do it for you. But if you enjoy somthing that is silly and it knows it youll love it. With light hearted gore and caricature characters it fits perfectly in with a triple feature night of Heathers and death becomes her. Also if you love either of these main actors you're in for a treat. A fun silly halloween flick for those not into actual horror.

This is a must-see movie in the theater and I will watch this more than once. Appropriately rated PG-13 and not bad for most kids that can watch that rating. What they were able to do on the shoestring budget of 13 million is just absolutely outstanding to me. This is also the directorial debut of Robin Williams's daughter Zelda. You can tell she's done her research on multiple genres from the '80s and has made a unique look but also adding to the feel of 1989. The script is pretty decent but the concept and art and direction are fantastic! I have seen 15 new movies in 2024 and this is definitely my favorite.

Essentially a blind watch, I must say I surprisingly enjoyed this film.

Lisa Frankenstein was surprisingly enjoyable. It was completely ridiculous and completely stupid, but I found its quirkiness oddly endearing and sweet.

Great performances from the supporting cast and Lisa played fantastically by the beautifully talented Kathryn Newton. She is quickly becoming a favorite actress of mine.

Overall, while I most certainly enjoyed the film, there were certain elements that didn't completely work for me that I'm sure would work for others.

Charming, endearing, and darkly humorous makes Lisa Frankenstein a worthwhile watch that I, for one, did not see myself enjoying.

PS. Still a better love story than Twilight.

"They say 'Time heals wounds' but actually, 'Time is the wound.'"

In the year 1989, one's life is about to change forever because of a storm. This is a strange take on Frankenstein's story with something special about it. A film that is entertaining enough and if you do love the 80s, that "Sweeney Todd" vibes, if you love Kathryn Newton, Jughead Jones / Cole Sprouse, this film is for you. Kudos to Liza Soberano's first appearance in a Hollywood film. She did an amazing job and deserves to have more.

Cole Sprouse and Kathryn Newton did deliver a good performance here too.

A film that I could recommend watching. It was fun to watch!

Loved that they still used When in Rome's The Promise in the film (not just in the trailer).
