"Lisa Frankenstein: A Fearless Corpse Comedy That Will Make You Miss Tim Burton"

TL;DR Summary
"Lisa Frankenstein" is a flat-lining comedy about an Eighties Goth misfit meeting the zombie of her dreams, attempting to be a pitch-black satire with a taste for the ghoulish and an era-appropriate Goth soundtrack. Despite the well-intentioned mix of horror and comedy, the film fails to deliver on its potential, with disjointed storytelling, lack of direction, and performances that struggle to elevate the messy onscreen happenings. Ultimately, it falls short of capturing the unique sensibility of filmmakers like Tim Burton, leaving audiences longing for the magic of cult classics like "Heathers" and "Edward Scissorhands."
