Lisa Frankenstein

• Horror
• Comedy
• Romance

In 1989, a darkly comedic and unconventional romance blossoms within the confines of a gothic cemetery as a grieving, isolated high schooler resurrects the Victorian-era object of her affections. This isn’t a typical horror-comedy; it’s a macabre, visually-driven exploration of loneliness, feminine rage, and the desperate search for connection, fueled by a quirky, body-horror fueled quest to ‘complete’ her beloved. The film subverts expectations through its surprisingly tender portrayal of a relationship built on shared trauma and a darkly playful embrace of the grotesque, offering a cathartic, if unsettling, vision of female empowerment born from unconventional desires. It's a visually arresting and unapologetically campy take on the classic Frankenstein narrative, leaning into a distinctly 80s aesthetic with a rebellious spirit.
