    Good movie. A definite touch of Edward scissorhands, a dab of Heathers and the storyline of Warmbodies.

    This was a fun movie which is nice to see. Not enough fun movies anymore. It also had an 80s vibe. The cast was great.

    This was an enjoyable movie. I thought it had moments that were very strangely paced or put together. The parts that were enjoyable were funny, though. The main character was zany and fun to watch.

    This was a bit more mature than PG13

    Not as interesting as I thought it’d be. It’s not something I haven’t seen before, with some tweaks here and there. Overall, just a below “ok” film.

Lisa Frankenstein can be fun, but there is a mean-spiritedness to Cody’s script that doesn’t fit with the film’s premise. It comes mainly at the hands of the creature whose victims are far from charming but don’t necessarily deserve the extreme comeuppance that’s dealt to them.

There’s enough verve in the concept and performances — and in debuting feature-maker Williams’ exuberant direction — to carry Lisa Frankenstein through.

Even as the film revels in violent, necrophiliac delights, the dialogue keeps everything grounded with its humor.
