About the horror rom-com
The Zelda William directorial is based on a script penned by Oscar winner Diablo Cody, with the cast led by Kathryn Newton in the role of the titular character, the goth teenage girl Lisa who decides to reanimate a Victorian-era corpse. The corpse is played by Cole Sprouse.
Lisa Frankenstein is set in the 1980s and it follows the titular character Lisa, a misunderstood teenage goth girl, who is troubled with the pressure of joining a new school as well as the struggle to spend some alone time with her new romantic interest, a Victorian-era corpse in the cemetery.
Lisa finds herself involved suddenly in an unfathomable accident that leads to the corpse getting reanimated one stormy night. Now she has to figure out how to keep this dark secret from her family and friends, and more importantly, what to do with the corpse.
Lisa and her Victorian lover embark on a horrific but adventurous journey in pursuit of true love and contentment and on the way they also carry out the mission of recovering a few crucial missing body parts for Lisa's Victorian partner. Lisa Frankenstein is a story of a heartwarming and yet unconventional romance that is every bit as endearing as it is shocking.
