Lisa Frankenstein
In 1989, a misunderstood teenager has a high school crush — who just happens to be a handsome corpse! After a set of playfully horrific circumstances bring him back to life, the two embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness…and a few missing body parts along the way.
Critics Sentiment
Lisa hides the reanimated corpse in her bedroom closet
Lisa discovers Michael in bed with Taffy
The film peaks early with the creature discovery but dips significantly during the rushed romantic subplot before recovering with its bold ending.
Lisa Frankenstein starts strong with effective world-building and character establishment, reaching its peak when the central relationship between Lisa and the Creature develops. The film stumbles in its middle act with pacing issues and competing subplots, but recovers with a satisfying conclusion that most critics found redemptive.
