Even with a new jolt of electricity as a fresh flick in 2024, the Focus Feature film Lisa Frankenstein arrives stiff as a board and lifeless unfortunately. This horror film is dying to be a cult classic in the vein of Beetlejuice and The Rocky Horror Picture Show but looks to be put out of its rest after a short run in theaters.
The plot follows Lisa Swallows, a student struggling to find her tribe and become popular in school in the year of 1989. This gives room for uncomfortable situations to be had for the characters onscreen and questionable jokes to be told to modern audiences that were acceptable at the time.
