The Big Picture If there was an Oscar for best movie title, Lisa Frankenstein would have it in the bag. The name alone conjures up two images: the brand Lisa Frank, which produces bright, colorful stickers and school supplies, and Frankenstein’s monster, a pop culture staple conceptualized by Mary Shelley. Lisa Frankenstein essentially, well, Frankensteins those two competing images together into a feature film.
So Lisa finds solace in the cemetery, particularly at the grave of one specific young man she confides in. One night during a storm, that man comes to life — or at least goes from dead to undead — and comes to be known as The Creature . Though Lisa is predictably and understandably terrified of the zombie she created at first, the two become fast friends — and maybe even something more.
The visuals are stunning, with the costuming, production design, and cinematography all working together to execute Williams’ vision. Some of the most gorgeous moments happen when Williams leans into the Gothic, Tim Burton-esque aesthetics that start at the opening credits. Surreal, black-and-white dream sequences continue the dark whimsy throughout.
The fact Lisa also gains confidence through revenge is fun and certainly amps up the wacky comedic horror elements the film is playing with, but it is difficult to track where Lisa is at in her journey at times. She’s unpredictable and unhinged, meaning it can take the audience some time to catch up on her unique logic.
Gugino has always turned in solid performances, and it’s delightful to see her finally start to get her flowers, particularly in the horror space with her work in the Mike Flanagan universe. Lisa Frankenstein only further solidifies and spotlights her mastery of the genre, allowing her to flex her villain muscles as a psychiatric nurse with dangerous savior and martyr complexes alike.
