Frankenstein

There are a few Horrified variations, but film fans will want to beeline straight for this Universal Monsters-themed version. It’s a fun cooperative game (we’ve played it, and it has a refreshingly quick learning curve) for 1-5 players, with different degrees of difficulty depending on which monster you’re fighting to vanquish: Frankenstein’s monster, Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman, Mummy, Invisible Man, or Creature From the Black Lagoon. ($50 at Ravensburger; $36 at Amazon) There are a few Horrified…

The lifespan of a movie these days can be very unpredictable. Take for instance Sydney Sweeney’s surprise hit Anyone But You (not Madame Web) and Pixar’s Elemental—two films which ended up getting legs after a few weeks of release. Here’s hoping that’s the case with Lisa Frankenstein, that it chops off some legs and runs. Lisa Frankenstein's Crew on Casting the Right Stars The sharp, darkly comedic film written by Jennifer’s Body scribe Diablo Cody and directed by Zelda Williams is a swerve unlike anything in theaters…

Anyone else already missing spooky season? Luckily for us, there are some exciting upcoming horror movies coming out in the meantime, starting with Lisa Frankenstein. The latest of the 2024 movies is not only a horror movie, but a twisted spin on the romantic comedy genre too. It stars Kathryn Newton, Cole Sprouse and Carla Gugino, and comes from writer Diablo Cody and director Zelda Williams. If Lisa Frankenstein was your jam, it’s time to keep the blood splatters going with these recommendations of more teen horror…

When it comes to reviewing films as honestly as possible, two of the most important things to keep in mind is that the work should be measured against the best possible version of itself, and that the best version of itself tends to reveal itself in tandem with the actual version of itself. Lisa Frankenstein is severely disinterested in these parameters, which is to say that it doesn’t have much of a self at all, let alone any sort of blueprint for the best possible version of itself. Indeed, despite flashes of solid…

By Mark Kennedy | Associated Press It will come as no surprise that the new movie “Lisa Frankenstein” is a real monster — stitched together from previous movies, painfully incoherent and deeply, deeply dumb. This is a baffling display of filmmaking, what appears to be a sort of feminist take on the reanimated creature trope that has been shoehorned into a late-1980s setting, complete with New Wave songs, teased hair and brightly colored spandex. Why? Presumably to giggle at shoulder pads, hairspray and Echo and the…

The blindsiding success of 2007’s Juno gave Hollywood an unusual new star, a young and outspoken stripper-turned-screenwriter whose very existence upended dusty industry expectations, and one who became hard to easily pigeonhole. Diablo Cody, who wrote her first hit screenplay before she turned 30, was rewarded with an Oscar, and within a profession where household names are rarer than rare, she became a minor celebrity, all eyes fixated on whatever her next move would be.Cody’s follow-up – the poppy supernatural horror…

Image: HeadpressOk, this isn’t a sci-fi or fantasy book, but it’s definitely in the realms of horror. In the hands of film scholar and director Kier-La Janisse—who made Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, the definitive documentary on folk horror—it’s guaranteed to be a fascinating adaptation. Severin Films announced the project earlier this week in a press release, and described the book as follows: “Documenting the intersection of ethnographic documentary, the dystopic future visions of JG Ballard, and the 1970s snuff…

Anybody who grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s is likely aware of the brightly colored stickers and school supplies designed by Lisa Frank. So it’s pretty easy to assume that there’s some nostalgia-fueled intrigue for the upcoming horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein. This movie with the clever portmanteau title puts an ‘80s twist on a classic monster flick and is set to hit theaters on February 9, but critics have already had a chance to screen the movie, and some definitely liked the effort better than others. Diablo Cody, writer…

“Hell is a teenage girl.” Those now famous words were written by Diablo Cody and were the first words to be spoken in the 2009 movie Jennifer’s Body, starring Megan Fox. Fifteen years later, Cody has returned to the horror genre for the first time since then with Lisa Frankenstein, and those words still ring true for a new blood-soaked protagonist. But this time, Hell is a teenage boy, too… especially when it comes to one from Victorian times literally rising from the grave to help one teenage girl exact revenge on those…
