Lisa Frankenstein

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An affectionate callback to classic horror comedies of the '80s, Lisa Frankenstein can be fun in its own right despite not quite measuring up to the movies it imitates.

Read Critics Reviews

Audience Says

Lisa Frankenstein is an overall entertaining horror rom-com whose silly sense of humor and heavy '80s vibes help make up for an emphasis on style over substance.

... a serviceable, fun goth romp.

Irish Times

Just about fun enough to sustain 101 clattering, dusty, dimly lit minutes. Reviews will be mixed. But it has every chance of being resurrected as a cult classic.

Rated: 3/5

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

Like the creature at the center of it, this starts out creaky... but then, again, like the creature at the center of it, it proceeds to find its feet and indeed its voice.

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

The pacing isn't quite right and the whole drags in more than one section, but I really enjoyed the main cast and what they're doing within that often janky structure.

Rated: 6/10

Tim Miller

Cape Cod Wave Magazine

Over the top and painfully unfunny, it makes Madame Web seem like Madame Bovary.

Rated: 1/4

Mattie Lucas

From the Front Row

A sly and subversive candy-colored fantasy that plays like the fevered romantic ramblings of a disaffected teenager's diary.

Rated: 3/4

mathewdwan Fun quirky little movie. Loved the practical effects. Loved the characters and the lack of redemption. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Andrew M. I liked the soundtrack, cool 80's. It was funny and reminded me of John Waters style. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Ben W It was ok. Pacing felt slightly off and certain beats felt rushed or glossed over. Fun idea, but slightly underwhelming execution. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Robert S Wonderfully weird and quite funny. This was darker than I expected. I went in thinking it would be a cute little love story. Um, no. It's actually bizarre and more of a horror show than I thought it would be which was fantastic because it's rare when you get something so offbeat and unexpected these days, especially at the theater. It wears its influences on its sleeve. There's a lot of Tim Burton and Heathers in here which was fantastic. I can't recommend this movie enough. I hope director Zelda Williams unleashes something equally as interesting and fun with her next film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Derek G If youre a big Tim Burton fan, this movie is an absolute love letter to movies like Edward Scissorhands and some of Burtons other classics. But it still stands on its own two feet and tells its own weird story! Its quirky, weird but funny at the same time. I really had a good time with this one. It put a smile on my face. Its definitely going to be a cult classic for sure! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Kaveon Future Cult Classic!
