I enjoyed this a good bit. Good atmosphere and place, good cast, dark humor worked and I got invested in the story. Not great cinema and the douchy characters wear down on me a bit but really solid. Zelda Williams is a real talent. 8/10
I agree with a lot of what you said. Personally I love films that have a weird premise like Lisa Frankenstein. I do agree that as the 2nd half progressed some of the characters started to wear down my enjoyment t of the film but overall I really enjoyed it.
I watched it today and I was cackling the whole time and I loved almost everything here. Kathryn Newton really stole this show, i think I like this more than Freaky for her even tho she was great in that. I was the target audience for this😅
So, I finally watched this and of course, I adored it. It wasn’t perfect, but it was basically exactly what I was hoping it would be. The visuals really remind me of Edward Scissorhands, particularly the contrast between Edward and the colors surrounding him. Could’ve been funnier but the few laughs I did get were pretty good. Overall I found it to be a cute little movie for all of us “weird” girls out there who prefer the Edward Scissorhands/Corpse Bride/Warm Bodies approach to romance.
When I showed my husband the trailer, he said it reminded him of My Boyfriends Back (1993), which I had forgotten all about. 😆 I wasn’t sure if I should go to the theaters for this, but I just might now. 😁👍
Loved this movie right up my alley one of my favorite movies of all time tbh loved Jennifer’s body loved this one more . Great review Cody rock on brother 🤘🏻
in regards to Cole Sprouse's character I feel when he asked how they want him to emote they said do Johnny Depp from Sleepy hollow witch a hint of jack sparrow 😅
I agree that the writing style didn't match the direction. The "witty" jokes in the film just came across as awkward and uncomfortable because the pacing was so much slower than it should have been in my opinion. I love dark comedy, but this was like... dark uncomfy awkward-y in my opinion
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. But I have to disagree with you about the 80's, Cody. I know that the fact that I was a teenager in the early 90's influences my opinion a lot; but the 80's were CHEESEY AF! The only reason it's a good era to set movies in is because it's SO EASY to make fun of!
Enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would, felt like a perfect split between Edward Scissorhands and Heathers. So obvious that this will be a cult classic one day. Great video, Cody!
I really liked the movie, I'm honestly really sad that it's bombing at the box office right now. People complain that Hollywood is out of ideas and yet they don't support movies like this smh
I completely agree. I really enjoyed the film and honestly I didn’t even realize until afterward that it only has a 50 percent rotten tomato score. I would’ve thought it would be at least in the 60’s.
@@cooperwolfe5478 I have a feeling it’s going to be another Jennifer’s Body situation where it gets panned at release, bombs at the box office, but then will be appreciated years later. Poor Diablo Cody lol
I haven't seen Lisa Frankenstein yet but i'm a goth and I LOVE Heathers and Edward Scissorhands, and teen angst horror like Jennifer's Body and Ginger Snaps. I am so unbelievably excited to go watch it with my friend soon! we're even dressing up for it.
Cody I agreed with a lot of what you said about this movie. As someone who loves Tim Burton’s films I really enjoyed the vibe that this film had. Really the only negative that I had was that I felt that the second half wasn’t as focused as the first half of the film.
Just got back from watching to movie and I had a blast. It’s weird and definitely not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea but I definitely is mine. I thought Kathryn Newton was great in the role and I loved the atmosphere of the movie. Has that Burton vibe that we don’t get lot of anymore. Also laughed a good bit watching
Juno and Jennifer’s Body are and have always been two of my fav films ever (I was a teenager when they came out so I was right in that target demo back then) so I’m pretty confident I’ll love this just as much despite being much older now considering how well the other 2 still hold up for me.
Juno? Get that girl an abortion instead of letting her ruin her body for an unwanted child. The movie is just awfull. No girl should choose outdated morals over herself. Plus why didn't she and her superugly weirdo boyfriend not use contraceptives like normal Teenagers? And every girl that is okay with condoms must have the pill after at hand. Juno is such a dumb bimbo. Dann I hate this movie
Thanks for your review! Very insightful! I saw this movie last night and I loved it! It might not be for everyone, but I’m a self proclaimed “weird girl” and so I was easily able to roll with the fun. I feel #cultclassic is accurate! (Love your Phantasm shirt!)
My review of the movie as one of the original cast of kids who conceived and brought this film that later got made, will be up tonight in my Growing Up In Rock N Roll playlist. It’s important people go watch it cus this film discusses real things that were going on (no not the creature cuz I played him sometimes), but some city wide human testing on kids who are now grown and deserve reparations. My situation is really bad as one of the kids who suffered this and many aren’t here now and somehow peeps keep dy*ng. Some without justice. Kids really did disappear. This was a city of portland production. So a whole city of now grown kids deserves some reparations and some justice. I’m glad this film put a lot of these themes in the movie so there’s some credibility later for what these kids suffered. Like some of really did get that mouth fungus. Sacrifices really did occur in the graveyard, as kids were being human tested on and exposed to this stuff. So I discuss this stuff in my review… it’s a bit darker but I also discuss the classic horror comedy genre techniques used and the music and stuff too. I hope peeps enjoy it but also see how serious it is so many aren’t here now and there hasn’t been enough, if any, justice. Nice review. I discussed the Ryan Murphy type moments in the film, these kids and the girl behind this were just brilliant to have done this production as children. the actors did amazing! This film is too underrated and deserves some awards. One of the best I’ve seen in the genre.
I love your reviews. You always bring up something I hadn't thought about, and you take time to really dig in deep. I've been binge-watching your videos and just realized I hadn't subscribed! I've now subscribed!
This can't be compared to Tim Burton e.g. Edward Scissorhands or even Beetlejuice or Heathers, since those movies had a heart and also some underlying messages. The characters might be outsiders and alienated from society, but in other respects sensitive and likable, making them sympathetic in a way. They were usually misunderstood rather than "bad" or evil. Lisa Frankenstein is like having Edward Scissorhands turned murderous and cut off people for their body parts to replace his own. The idea that high school is hell is very old, but the problem is none of the characters are relatable. Just like Juno, there are too much one-liner jokes and stilted dialogue for its own good. As always, they were intended to be funny, but ultimately this is a pointless movie.
Definitely loved this movie and happy that it came out, in my top 10 for this year for so far! It is SO cute! The deaths where intresting and the romance was actually pretty good! The twist with the sister cheating was also shocking. 9/10
Had high hopes for this one, even if it is kinda of a niche flick I am glad that it is good. Quite a few other reviewers/critics are pricing it, yet kinda worried about if it would do well in the box office.
I thought that this was the best movie of the year so far, albeit that’s a low bar to climb over. It was funny, touching, and twisted. Also Cody, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton returning to the Saw franchise for the 11th instalment. I know you have been looking forward to see where the Saw franchise goes next, so I figured that you would react negatively to the writers of the Hoffman movies returning.
Cole Sprouse's character remind me of a combination of Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd and Billy from Hocus Pocus..... And Kathryn Newton remind me of 1986 Madonna..... I thought the movie was very entertaining.
The second you said it’s like Heathers, I now want to watch Lisa Frankenstein. I’ve been obsessed w/ Heathers for a decade when I was in High School. It’s not a perfect film but it’s one of my comfort films. I’m not really a rom com person but I love a good dark comedy. Do you like Heathers?
There was a lot I liked about this with the style. But there was so much I didn't get from watching this... did they ever find out who (spoiler) killed her mom? I thought they were going to come back to that, but they didn't...also I didn't really get the end and what happens next, unless there's a sequel.
Taffy's character was more redeemable. The switch of character from bubbly to an emotional sad chic was an incredible transition for me. The movie wouldve been better if the comedy side of it was executed properly. timing was something missing. No backstory of Cole's character Lack of character depth of Kathryn's character Poor quality angle shots Underdeveloped characters More Taffy scenes Was not too invested in their lovestory
This movie gave me tim Burton vibes also I thought the chick was super creepy. I met a couple of goth girls but they were Normal acting no offense goths
I'm watching Breaking Bad and Justified both at the moment, I will confess I ain't a breaking bad fan but it did have some interesting ideas and I respect the show it made Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Bob Odenkirk household names, I wouldn't mind seeing Vince Gilligan returning to this universe he and Giancarlo Esposito are interested in a prequel about Gus (could we finally uncover the mysterious past of Gus, I think Gus was part of The Pinochet Regime in Chile), I'd love to see a prequel movie about Hank and Steve Gomez in their early days at The DEA, There's still some unanswered questions from BCS, BB @ EC 1. What will happen to Skyler, Walter JR and Holly? (I think Skyler will probably be sent to a female corrections facility and Marie will be the Guardian of Walter JR and Holly, but her relationship with Skyler will probably be done) 2. What Happened to Ted Beneke? Will he recover? 3. Why was Skyler at the Four Corners? 4. What was the Fate of Donald Margolis (Jane's Father) 5. Did Elliott and Gretchen give Walter JR the Money? 6. What exactly happened between Walter and Gretchen? 7. What is Gus's Past in Chile? Why was his records in Chile non existent? 8. What Happened to Patrick Kuby? (Did he flee?, Did Walter have him Killed?, Why was Kuby Chased out of Boston?) 9. Did Lydia die? 10. What happened to Skinny Pete and Badger? 11. What did Jesse write to Brock? 12. What happens to Francesca after Saul's arrest and incarceration? 13. What happens to Jesse Pinkman after El Camino?
The Terror Trader crew just released a great discussion video on your top 25 horror films. You should check it out! It'd be rad for you to do a collab with them.
There is another horror movie that is out called Out of the Darkness that critics like but Audiences seem to hate. This movie seems to be the reverse. This movie is ok but not for me.
I hated it when the nice old lady was killed and put in the dryer. The man who found her body discovered a valentine she had left for him a little later and that was so sad. I was only 14 and I thought it was really depressing that they killed off a sweet elderly lady and I was reminded of my grandmother, it was too disturbing. 💔
This movie is so divisive; it seems. The Horror Show hated it, Cody loved it. I’m just sick of Cody writing about high school girls. Is that her only area of interest? Branching out might do her some good
To be fair, I didn’t love it. I gave it a 3/5. But yes this is the type of movie that I expect to highly appeal to a specific audience while being a mixed bag for everyone else.
I really really wanted to love this. But I agree that it wasn't funny enough or written as clever as it thinks it is, and that bothered me a lot more, so my review is slightly negative instead of slightly positive like yours. I think Kathryn Newton was miscast. She was too low energy. This is the kind of role you need to bring high camp to, and she was so bland beyond Weirdo Goth Outcast Archetype. I think a comedic actress would have NAILED this, types like Anna Kendrick, Anna Faris, Emma Stone, Rebel Wilson, Melissa McCarthy, etc, but age appropriate. (Also, who are the current young physical comedy actors/actresses? Don't tell me we don't have any?!) Cole Sprouse had nothing to do. I thought, since he died a bachelor and was forsaken by his sweetheart for another in life and by Lisa for another in death, that he was going to "court" Lisa by killing the men he sees as his rivals for her affection as a way to be "more assertive this time around." And it's a silent horror rom-com role, so where is the splatter slapstick romantic gestures?!?! I get that he dis-"membered" his rival for Lisa but that was ONE gag in the THIRD act!!! I think that instead of going for Heathers meets Edward Scissorhands they should have went Heathers meets Sweeney Todd: Lisa's descent from meek "Benjamin Barker" to murderous "Sweeney Todd" and the Frankenstein being a lovesick accomplice in an 80s high school coming-of-rage story would have been more compelling.
@skyofthelivingdead you brought absolutely nothing to the table with your dumb comment. Go listen to your shitty emo music and get off of the internet.
I caught an early screening of this flick, and for me the closest comparison is "Warm Bodies". Agreed, the script lacked focus. I'm also not really the target audience for it, and my big complaint is that the "romance" between the main characters don't have a chance to blossom because even after he is resurrected, Lisa still pines for a guy at school, who everyone else dismisses even though he looks like a male model. I couldn't root for Lisa because the deaths that occur are merely convenient, they're not acts of passion.
Cole Sprouse's character kept reminding of that dead guy from "Hocus Pocus". 😄😄
BILLY!!!
Facts
I can’t unsee it lol

I think I wanna see this I love the 80's.

Cole Sprouse chopping something off was literally like Ichabod Crane chopping the bloody roots to open the headless horseman's lair.
Idk why she reminds me of Ginger from Ginger Snaps. Lol
I agree that the writing style didn't match the direction. The "witty" jokes in the film just came across as awkward and uncomfortable because the pacing was so much slower than it should have been in my opinion. I love dark comedy, but this was like... dark uncomfy awkward-y in my opinion
I found myself hating lisa... it wasn't a romantic arc it was I want this other guys but since I can't have him ill take you ending...
The trailer w the catchy song was a little better kim petal song? I really wanted to love it, couldn’t get into it.
The wife and I saw this for my birthday today and I thought it was hilarious

I agree all you said to be honest
Love this review
🎉
She's not orphan, she has a father!
I got the impression she was adopted by her friend’s parents. It’s possible I misunderstood and Carla was her stepmom.
As soon as I heard about this movie, I automatically thought of my boyfriend is back. That was silly, entertaining enough of a movie.
It seems like it knows exactly what it is, I have fun with these goofy joints.
They play the trailer for that movie in the pre-show at Alamo Drafthouse!
Warm Bodies as well
Enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would, felt like a perfect split between Edward Scissorhands and Heathers. So obvious that this will be a cult classic one day. Great video, Cody!

I am a goth and I HATE the actress'es clothes.
They look like H&M had a Baby with a Halloween costume.
Urgh 🤢🤢🤢
It was actually her first full-length film. The others were shorts, a TV episode, and music videos.
Cody I agreed with a lot of what you said about this movie. As someone who loves Tim Burton’s films I really enjoyed the vibe that this film had. Really the only negative that I had was that I felt that the second half wasn’t as focused as the first half of the film.

This movie is all over the place, but I like how it has an 80's nostalgic look to it.

Are you going to review Argylle? I’ve actually been expecting it. I honestly do want to hear your thoughts on it.
I watched it a second time with my friend and while it's still not for me I had more fun with it my second time around
It’s pronounced Frunkensteen
I understood that reference.

We were laughing so much and it was really nice and refreshing to just be giggling 😂 I really liked it
Loved this movie!! Totally unexpected this!!
YOUNG ADULT is Diablo Cody's best film.
Liking the main actress in movies like her last movie
Review the witch please🐐
I agree entirely this movie felt like it had no point
Bad movie imo
God, are you wrong lol
LIZA SOBERANO ❤🇵🇭
I knew I wasn’t gonna see this movie now its solitisfied
Cody dropping a review on my birthday is just awesome
Happy Birthday!
This movie was awesome! 😊

Flopped!!
Cole Sprouse's character remind me of a combination of Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd and Billy from Hocus Pocus..... And Kathryn Newton remind me of 1986 Madonna..... I thought the movie was very entertaining.
After watching this review I have no idea if I will like this movie. Tim Burton is hit or miss with me. Mostly miss.
Mostly miss with me too

Taffy's character was more redeemable. The switch of character from bubbly to an emotional sad chic was an incredible transition for me. The movie wouldve been better if the comedy side of it was executed properly. timing was something missing.
No backstory of Cole's character
Lack of character depth of Kathryn's character
Poor quality angle shots
Underdeveloped characters
More Taffy scenes
Was not too invested in their lovestory
This movie gave me tim Burton vibes also I thought the chick was super creepy. I met a couple of goth girls but they were Normal acting no offense goths
Lisa Frankenstein and Late Night with the Devil are two of my new favorite movies. Probably in my top 10 all time personally.
I'm watching Breaking Bad and Justified both at the moment, I will confess I ain't a breaking bad fan but it did have some interesting ideas and I respect the show it made Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Bob Odenkirk household names, I wouldn't mind seeing Vince Gilligan returning to this universe he and Giancarlo Esposito are interested in a prequel about Gus (could we finally uncover the mysterious past of Gus, I think Gus was part of The Pinochet Regime in Chile), I'd love to see a prequel movie about Hank and Steve Gomez in their early days at The DEA, There's still some unanswered questions from BCS, BB @ EC
1. What will happen to Skyler, Walter JR and Holly? (I think Skyler will probably be sent to a female corrections facility and Marie will be the Guardian of Walter JR and Holly, but her relationship with Skyler will probably be done)
2. What Happened to Ted Beneke? Will he recover?
3. Why was Skyler at the Four Corners?
4. What was the Fate of Donald Margolis (Jane's Father)
5. Did Elliott and Gretchen give Walter JR the Money?
6. What exactly happened between Walter and Gretchen?
7. What is Gus's Past in Chile? Why was his records in Chile non existent?
8. What Happened to Patrick Kuby? (Did he flee?, Did Walter have him Killed?, Why was Kuby Chased out of Boston?)
9. Did Lydia die?
10. What happened to Skinny Pete and Badger?
11. What did Jesse write to Brock?
12. What happens to Francesca after Saul's arrest and incarceration?
13. What happens to Jesse Pinkman after El Camino?

It was better than anything Tim Burton has released in over a decade.
What was so bad about this january lol. I thought the beekeeper was badass. (Night swim sucked tho
It was a less funny version of My boyfriend's back
Is no one else making the connection between this film and poor things? Lol this a poor version of poor things
I wonder
Does the PG13 hinder this kind of movie or no?
Let me get this straight, you liked this but didn't like my bloody valentine 1981 🙄
I hated it when the nice old lady was killed and put in the dryer. The man who found her body discovered a valentine she had left for him a little later and that was so sad. I was only 14 and I thought it was really depressing that they killed off a sweet elderly lady and I was reminded of my grandmother, it was too disturbing. 💔
Liza SOBERANO as Taffy here is pretty and hilariously good. She is a star in the rising.
Only Filipino baiting will praise Liza Soberano😅
Just saw this and loved it!
This movie is so divisive; it seems. The Horror Show hated it, Cody loved it.
I’m just sick of Cody writing about high school girls. Is that her only area of interest? Branching out might do her some good

You list up old women to play a Teenager.
The actress is a total fail.
She looks 40 plus.
The visuals seem like that of the new Godzilla franchise. Flamboyant. I can't stand this effect. It's so off putting.
Well, a lot of people DO like that flamboyance.
@skyofthelivingdead you brought absolutely nothing to the table with your dumb comment. Go listen to your shitty emo music and get off of the internet.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one Lisa Frankenstein sucks.
What is this rated r pg13 ?
Pg 13
Yeah. Kinda a sneaky PG13 due to scenes they cut from. It coulda been a R movie.
