    I just left the theater and I loved this movie! It was so camp, but also addressed the topic of death in a meaningful way. Coincidentally, it made a similar critique of how our American culture handles death similarly to the Midsommar (sp?) movie.

    Lisa is a famous actress in the Philippines. It’s good that she got to transition to hollywood

    • @LadyJenevia
      @LadyJenevia  4 місяці тому +24

      She was great at the horror-acting! I’d love to see her booked for something from one of the great horror directors of today like Jordan Peele, Mike Flanagan, etc.! 👻

    Not watching TV cause of unfinished storylines. Is such a feel. I'll only watch TV if it is finish with a satisfying ending.

    this movie was really DAMN good! With some really funny scenes and laughs. The sets are so 80s good, yes, I am up for anything else Zelda does. Zelda has definitely picked up the gothic charm Tim Burton dropped in the past couple of years

    • @LadyJenevia
      @LadyJenevia  3 місяці тому +1

      The audience paid Lisa Frankenstein DUST but I loved it and I will be completely "I told you so!" once Zelda starts getting more momentum and people realise they should've been paying attention sooner. 😌

    What's the hate on Cole Sprouse the man is transparent up right sarcastic and intelligent
    And doesn't fear to be his crazy self
    Shares his vulnerability and doesn't care about people's judgment
    And might I mention amazing actor and photographer
    Yeah People like Cole often intimidate people
    Doesn't matter he's living his best life and is a BADASS

    • @LadyJenevia

      I don't have any particular issue with him but I saw some tweets dismissing his presence in the film before it had been released (I couldn't say anything yet to praise his work in the film since the review embargo hadn't lifted). That's what I was referring to. 😆

    Thank you for the review ! You were very articulate explaining everything about the movie and i really appreciated it! And thank you for recognizing Philippines ‘ Liza Soberano ! Thank you! Mabuhay to you! 🎉

      Thank you very much for watching and your kind feedback! ☺️
      This was my first introduction to Liza and the film's third act in particular was what really won me over for her performance! Furthermore, the film's director Zelda Williams is also Filipino! She and Liza met at a networking event for Asians in the industry. 🥳
      One of my dearest friends is Filipino and she and her family are some of the absolute NICEST, most welcoming people I've had the pleasure of meeting. 😊

    I'm a sucker for Rom-Coms, Camp and horror movies. This movie just smashes ya in the head with all three. oh my lord, the scene in the car with Liza, she played horror so real. It grounded the movie so well. Cast her ASAP.

    Finally a review that loved it as much as I did! I swear other reviwers were looking for horror, not a light horror theamed rom com. It was exactly the right movie for me. And thank you for explaining that joke! I was extrapolating it, but it's much better to hear the explanation. And as someone who was alive in the 80's, albeit a good bit younger than our protagonists, most of the slang makes perfect sense. Except the use of the word clutch. That was not used in the 80's that I can remember, at least not where I lived. I swear the actress slipped it in by mistake. It bothers me 😅

      It felt very Heather's, corpse bride, and rocky horror. Hell, I even lost boys. It's a ball to the walls flim, which I think a lot of others didn't get. But as someone who adores those films, it hit just right. Will be obsessed with this film and make it my personality

    toward the end of the film when Lisa and the Creature have their little off-screen "love" scene, it always makes me cry, they're so sweet to each other and it reminds me of my boyfriend and I, and how I hope we'll be in the future.

    • @LadyJenevia
      @LadyJenevia  3 місяці тому +2

      I don’t have a spoiler review for this film currently planned BUT I do have a broader video essay I want to make about a topic involving rom coms… maybe in April (it depends on how long it takes to do other videos that are ahead of it on my to-do list) and the thesis of that video will have multiple films as an example and one of them is Lisa Frankenstein. 😂

    • @LadyJenevia
      @LadyJenevia  4 місяці тому +2

      Yes, please do! The film bro critics are slating it (TASTELESS, PER USUAL) but it's the perfect movie for the people who want a rom com revival! It's also not TOO scary for people who don't typically partake in horror. I wanted to say a lot more about it but this was a "Please go see this movie at the cinema" review, not a "Let's talk about a movie we've all already seen" review. 😂
