The ’80s nostalgia wave is still in full swing. But just because a tired trope is still doing its dance doesn’t mean there can’t be some gems left within the woodwork. Enter “Lisa Frankenstein,” the latest from the witty pen of “Jennifer’s Body” screenwriter Diablo Cody. The silly and sexy horror comedy brings an edgy twist to the adored subgenre and, through its reverence for the beloved decade’s penchant for gothic charm, makes for a ridiculously brilliant spin on a timeless story over 200 years old.
“Lisa Frankenstein” follows the titular Lisa (Kathryn Newton), an eccentric teen loner who doesn’t entirely fit in at her suburban high school.
