"Unearthing the Disappointing Humor in 'Lisa Frankenstein': A Review"
TL;DR Summary
"Lisa Frankenstein" is a horror comedy that attempts to blend horror and humor but falls short due to its outdated and overused tropes. Written by Diablo Cody, the film follows the story of Lisa Swallows, a teenage outsider who gains confidence with the help of her undead boyfriend/creature. Despite its attempts at edginess, the movie fails to deliver genuine scares or laughs, feeling more like an overly complicated SNL sketch.
