Lisa Frankenstein

Y’ALL. this movie was SO GOOD. like??? i went in with NO expectations and i was shocked??? my hubs and i agree we would definitely watch it again… which is rare that either of us say, let alone agree upon. 1000/10!

This was so nearly perfect! The third act is excellent, but the rest needed to be just slightly more absurd for the comedy to work. I’m a few years this will be regarded as a ‘cult classic’. It has similarities to Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, and Death Becomes Her!

5.1 - It’s trying to do a lot of things - romance, campy 80s slasher, sci-fi, high school dramedy - but it doesn’t quite stitch them together cohesively. Another rewrite with some deeper character arcs & some actual heart would have breathed some much needed life into this.

hated how she became more confident and herself after meeting a man like it’s because of him that she can be more confident and how her entire life was thrown away for him??! wtf so unrealistic.also that ending,what was that? like having sex with a guy is the goal of a lifetime🤨

Rated: 7.0/10

Drawn to Diablo Cody’s dark humor and 80s nostalgia, I gave this a shot. I love this; it’s a neon fever dream mixing teen awkwardness with slasher elements.

The Director's Eye (What Worked):
• Sprouse charms without speaking, relying on physical comedy as a decaying corpse.
• Rebuilding a zombie in a tanning bed is the exact goth madness I wanted.
• Soberano steals the show, giving actual heart to a mean-girl trope.

The Friction (What Didn't Click for Me):
• The jump to casually chopping up classmates felt rushed.
• The ending wraps up too neatly, totally ignoring the police investigation.

The Verdict:
I love it. Watch for quirky goth romance. Skip if you need logical plots.

This was wild, but I loved the aesthetic so so much ☺️
