Last post by chainsaw midget - May 20, 2026, 07:28:11 PMLisa Frankenstein (2024)
Lisa Frankenstein isn't a horrible movie, but it lacks the bite it should have. The movie is set in the 80s. Unlike a lot of modern movies that do this, it doesn't feel forced or anything. It just feels like they wanted to make a movie in the 80s.
A traumatized teenage girls who recently watched her mother get killed by an axe murderer, is trying to adjust to the new family she has. Her father married again months after her mother's death and her new stepmother is a real piece of work. Her father seems oblivious to this and emotionally absent. Her new stepsister ... is actually probabaly the best character in the movie. She loved having a new sister and does her absolute best to include her in everything and support her.
Anyway, the girl spends a lot of her time alone in an old abandoned cemetery. There's one grave in particular she enjoys. It has the stone bust of a hansom young boy that would have been about her age. One night that grave gets struck by lightning, and somehow this Victorian era corpse rises from the grave. Naturally, they slowly fall for each other.
There's not a whole lot of Frankenstein in this movie. She's no mad scientist. She does stitch a few parts back onto the zombie guy, but that never really feels like a major theme. The fact that her mother gets killed by an axe murderer also somehow never becomes a plot point. Even when other people are killed by an axe, it's not really brought up. It makes the movie feel like there were a few plotpoints that they just didn't bother with after they brought them up.
The movie almost feels like it wants to be Heathers by way of Edward Scissorhands, but never commits to one path or another.
