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.

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.

It’s not original – in fact it relies too much on its many pop-cultural callbacks – but there’s something universal about Lisa’s emotions that any lovesick, sulky teen girl can revel in.

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.

With all the nitpicks I could pick at, I was smiling and chuckling throughout the whole movie. I thought it was a blast, and I give it a lot of points for originality.

Lisa Frankenstein starts with a cute title and a fun premise—mousy girl brings Victorian-era corpse back to life—but rigor mortis sets in quickly with this stiff riff on Tim Burton-inflected rom-com satires.

While it feels like the zaniness of Cody’s script can sometimes get away from Williams as a filmmaker, she clearly has an eye for the bizarre that she’s able to neatly stitch up with a genuinely swoon-worthy teen romance.

Acquired taste but MY taste. If you like halloween/campy goth movies (its not scary btw), satire, and Diablo Cody's style you will like it

Fun quirky little movie. Loved the practical effects. Loved the characters and the lack of redemption.

I liked the soundtrack, cool 80's. It was funny and reminded me of John Waters style.
