A modern (kinda) take on Frankenstein where a loser girl gets empowered by the resurrection of a guy from the 1800s, and it makes her break bad.
This movie showed me two things: Movies set in the 80s by people that didn’t live in the 80s feel like a cartoon and Diablo Cody is a much better writer than she was in 2009.
The dialogue was actually pretty good, and the performances by the actors, especially Lisa’s sister and Dad, were fantastic.
It keeps it’s focus pretty good and manages to be funny and kind of cruel at the same time. It’s a good horror comedy that isn’t trying to be a cultural milestone, but sometimes the story felt a little disjointed. A few scenes felt a little shoehorned in, but it didn’t distract too much to make it not enjoyable.
