Joshua Hunter continues the Reel Spooky Series with Lisa Frankenstein, the feature debut for Zelda Williams, written by Diablo Cody. Set in 1989, the film follows Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton), a misunderstood goth teen who accidentally brings her ideal Victorian-era crush (Cole Sprouse) back to life as a reanimated corpse — kicking off a murderous, darkly romantic journey to piece together both his body and their relationship.
Joshua breaks down whether Cody's signature mean-streak humor and Williams' offbeat visual style actually mesh into something cohesive, digs into the film's 80s-drenched production design, and gives his honest verdict on whether this one earns its cult-classic potential or gets lost in the shuffle of a very crowded Frankenstein revival year.
