A good horror comedy is a genre smoothie that wakes you right up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But then there\u2019s \u201cLisa Frankenstein,\u201d a horror-com smoothie made mostly of ancient, moldy fruit. At this point, what a movie like this one tends to have going against it is the sheer past-the-sell-by-date creakiness of a genre that has now spent too many decades placing monsters and zombies in a so-normal-it\u2019s-wicked high-camp setting. The original ghoulie sitcoms, \u201cThe Munsters\u201d and \u201cThe Addams Family,\u201d are 60 years old. \u201cYoung Frankenstein\u201d is 50 years old. Even monster cereals like Count Chocula and Franken Berry are over 50. \u201cShaun of the Dead\u201d came out 20 year ago. The contempo \u201cAddams Family\u201d franchise kicked off in 1991, and the first \u201cHotel Transylvania\u201d cartoon was released in 2012. Horror comedies long ago became children\u2019s entertainment, because horror comedy long ago lost its <em>threat<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Yet \u201cLisa Frankenstein,\u201d an undead teenage slasher romance that bills itself as a \u201ccoming of RAGE story,\u201d strikes a fearless pose of look-how-bad-I-am bravado, as if it were up to something terribly rad. The film is set in 1989, which lends it a neo-\u201980s ersatz innocence, something that extends both to the filmmaking and the visual effects. It\u2019s low-tech and patched together, like an indie comedy of the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This is the seventh movie written by Diablo Cody, the hipster screenwriter who followed her smash debut, \u201cJuno\u201d (2007), with \u201cJennifer\u2019s Body,\u201d which starred Megan Fox as a high-school cheerleader-turned-succubus, and you can see why the tropes of horror comedy would be near and dear to Cody\u2019s heart. I personally think she\u2019s already transcended this kind of material (her two best films after \u201cJuno\u201d are the ultra-realistic \u201cYoung Adult\u201d and the empathetic nanny fantasy \u201cTully\u201d), but her brand is edge, and \u201cLisa Frankenstein,\u201d while neither scary nor funny (the way Zelda Williams has directed it, it sits in some corkscrew zone that feels more like \u201coverly complicated SNL sketch\u201d), skims off the top of a dozen once-cool sources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Take the heroine, Lisa Swallows (played by Kathryn Newton, the talented costar of \u201cBlockers\u201d), a name that in any other high-school movie would be a nerd\u2019s unfortunate nickname. Lisa is a brainy outsider, though her victim status extends beyond that; she\u2019s one of those characters whose circumstances have made her the very vector of an Unfortunate Life. Her backstory is a gothic absurdist flourish: A psycho out of a slasher movie walked into her home, and Lisa watched her mom being slaughtered in the living room. But according to the tr\u00e9s \u201980s there\u2019s-no-hell-like-the-suburbs logic of \u201cLisa Frankenstein,\u201d the real horror came afterwards, when Lisa\u2019s dork of a dad (Joe Chrest) married the woman who would become Lisa\u2019s evil stepmother (Carla Gugino), bequeathing her a terrible stepsister as well, the fatally popular and superficial (and two-faced) cheerleader Taffy (Liza Soberano).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Gazing at poor Lisa, who Newton endows with a sparkling array of moods given what a thin character she is on paper, we register the vestiges of that old punk paragon, the Underground Girl Who\u2019s Too Cool To Think She\u2019s Middle Class. She\u2019s the heroine of \u201cDesperately Speaking Susan,\u201d she\u2019s Molly Ringwald in \u201cSixteen Candles,\u201d and she\u2019s one of the murderous proto mean girls of \u201cHeathers.\u201d Newton keeps Lisa likable, yet you can like her without liking (or enjoying) much of anything she does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Following a high-school rager in which she\u2019s subjected to every level of humiliation, Lisa heads over to the Bachelor\u2019s Grove cemetery, a leafy Tim Burton sort of place in which she takes sanctuary. That\u2019s because it contains the grave of her fantasy dude \u2014 a young 19th-century dandy who haunts her dreams. Tonight, he will come back to life, a pale zombie who still looks more than a little\u2026Byronic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Cole Sprouse makes him a mute hunk monster-saint, like Edward Scissorhands without the hands, or a goth version of the pin-up creature from \u201cThe Rocky Horror Picture Show.\u201d He\u2019s passive and harmless-looking, yet he\u2019s willing to do Lisa\u2019s bidding. Since he\u2019s missing one hand, they replace it by chopping off the school geek\u2019s. More blood-spattering follows. By the time Lisa confronts the literary-magazine editor (Henry Eikenberry) she has a crush on, who is now in bed with her stepsister, Sprouse and his blade go right for the offender\u2019s most precious part, which goes flying into the air in silhouette, to the two-ton ironic schlock tune of \u201cOn the Wings of Love.\u201d If you\u2019re not laughing yet, at no point ahead will you be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The film\u2019s title rather overstates the Frankenstein of it all. It\u2019s mostly a matter of a \u201clab\u201d in the garage that consists of a pink tanning bed with a short circuit. Empowered by her undead boyfriend\/creature, Lisa grows more confident, and we can tell because she starts dressing less like a Kewpie doll and more like a Madonna-at-the-prom wannabe. She just wants to belong, something we suspected the moment we saw her lilt around the house singing REO Speedwagon\u2019s \u201cCan\u2019t Fight This Feeling,\u201d and we realized it was her self-mockery that\u2019s the real put-on. She actually sings it with utter sincerity.
