************************************************
B-movie producer Roger Corman sometimes greenlit a movie based solely on the title, before even imagining the plot. Sometimes, its hour comes round at last, a title simply cries out to be born. For instance: Lisa Frankenstein. For the sake of convention we’ll describe the plot, but having read those two words in that combination, you probably already know whether you’re the audience for this one.
Directed by Zelda Williams (Robin’s daughter) and written by Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body), Lisa Frankenstein tells the story of a teenager in 1989 who falls in love with the miraculously reanimated corpse of a Victorian pianist. But how can their love survive, or whatever? And how many casualties will they cause finding out? Awash in neon, side-ponytails, Siouxsie eyeliner and Heathers-y suburban grotesquerie, Lisa Frankenstein is ‘80s pastiche elevated to idyll. It’s like Valley Girl, but the valley is the “of the shadow of death” one.
