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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

The teen/ horror/ monster/ slasher/ period film would have been served better if it could make up its mind about its identity

Whatever the issue holding Lisa Frankenstein back from its highest potential, its joys outweigh its flaws and, despite the lack of indelible quotables, it’s great to see Cody back in high school.

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.

It was ok. Pacing felt slightly off and certain beats felt rushed or glossed over. Fun idea, but slightly underwhelming execution.
