missing riverdale is called Stockholm syndrome

The decision to have cole sprouse not talk for the entirety of the movie was a godsend.

“No one coddled me when my dad blew up in Da Nang, and that’s why I am the way I am.” Typical 80’s stepmom.

I've just realised that the three body parts that Lisa steals for the creature were ways that the victims used to hurt her. Janet never listened to her, explaining the ear, the creep tried to take advantage of her, hence the hand, and her crush slept with Taffy, hence the.... Special part.

It feels like if this movie were released back in the 2000s, you would have Helena Bonner Carter and Johnny Depp playing the main roles.

I loved how Cole sprouse didn’t get any lines and just grunted or mumbled throughout the movie. 10/10 until he spoke at the end of the movie

I liked how unapologetically insane this movie became not even halfway through "yeah she's a psycho that kills people and we don't care". I love when movies accept the fact that they are bonker I had a Sweeney Todd vibe.

This is one of those movies that will have a cult following and will resurface in a few years as an amazing movie because locals can’t comprehend the level of camp this movie exudes

This is Barbie for the goth girlies. This is MY Barbie

Her name is Liza SWALLOWS?! That's what the Jack Sparrow parody is named in freaking Epic Movie. Her parents SUCK.

The poem he reads to Lisa is written by Mary Shelly's husband Percy Bysshe Shelly it's called "To Mary"

watched this at 10pm in my local cinema that smelled vaguely of weed on valentines weekend and it was one of my favorite cinematic experiences to date

The fact that Kathryn newton been playing high school since paranormal activity 4 in 2012 is insane!

Cole Sprouse's physical acting was worth the price of the movie. He is so very talented! You can tell he's been acting his entire life.

It’s heavily implied Cole Sprouse’s character is Victor Frankenstein from Mary Shelley’s novel, but in this reality or version he is “the creature”, his tombstone was damaged but we could read “tein” by the end of it, his first life was around the time when Mary Shelley’s novel was being written, and that’s why the name of the movie is “Lisa Frankenstein” despite the protagonist’s name in the beginning being Lisa Swallows, because after they made love they began to consider themselves married and when she came back from the dead the same way he did she started using his surname so they can spend their new lives together

I’m beyond grateful that there is hope for original unique movies like this one, even if it’s not exactly my taste

So glad that Robin Williams's daughter Zelda has made her directorial debut. I really hope she will get more projects after this!

This movie is really nice. It gives off total 80s vibes.

I can’t believe you didn’t mention when he threw up a worm into the stepmoms breakfast or when the dad and taffy visited Lisa’s grave and completely missed the engraved “Beloved Wife” on his TEENAGE DAUGHTERS head stone.

I swear, the whole time I was watching the movie I was just waiting for the reveal that LIsa's dad was the ax murder who killed Lisa's mom. The fact that he moved on so quickly seemed like a huge red flag to me. Maybe if he and Janet had just started dating after six months it would be less suspicious, but it's the fact that they got engaged and married so quickly after meeting that seemed off to me. Even when Taffy is telling the story her voice when she says that "they got engaged and married real quick" shows that she thought it was odd/surprising how fast it happened. I was 100% anticipating that Lisa's dad actually knew Janet while he was still married and killed Lisa's mom to be with her, waiting until a few months afterward to get together to seem less suspicious. Looking at the clip of the murder now, it does seem pretty evident the murderer is a different person. The murderer is clearly taller and slimmer than Lisa's dad with much fuller head of hair. However, I wouldn't surprised if Lisa's dad being the murderer being was an idea that was tossed around when developing the script. As things stand, I'm actually glad that wasn't the case. Taffy is such a sweetheart and it would be way to tragic if her only remaining family member was an ax murderer.😅

It's gonna be a cult classic.

fun fact, the blonde cheerleader friend of Lisa’s sister voiced Megan in the seminal horror classic, M3gan

I'm so happy you covered Lisa Frankenstein. Not enough people are talking about it. It's my favorite movie of the year so far.

My husband and I are both old school goths and we really enjoyed this movie. I really liked how they utilized the opening credits to tell the backstory of zombie boy

The “zombie boyfriend back to life” joke was just great 😆 Also, great seeing the *insert Daria quote here* joke 😆

This honestly was one of my favorite movies made within the last few years other than Barbie and Nimona.

Her stepsister is played by a famous actress in the Philippines and it’s just so awesome to see one of our own on americas silver screen ❤

I actually really loved this movie. It feels like a cult classic through and through, and honestly, that is a WONDERFUL change of pace. It's more akin to something like Rocky Horror or Heathers than much else released recently, and I appreciate that.

Fun Fact: My drama teacher played one of Lisa’s Cheerleader friends!

HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT LISAS STEPMOTHER IS THE MOM FROM SPYKIDS

3:00 The acid used in Breaking Bad to dissolve bodies is called "hydrofluoric acid"😅😅

I just watched it. Definitely ranking in my favorites. Lisa is so flawed and insane and transitions into it so perfectly and hysterically. She’s an awkward girl at first and accepts her craziness, decides to go all out.

Alex! I love that you are giving "Lisa Frankenstein" some much-needed attention and love, but the school literary magazine is NOT the same thing as the school newspaper! Literary magazine publishes fiction and poetry and the newspaper covers events that happen around the school. Literary mag/lit mag is creative fiction; school newspaper is reporting. So, Michael Trent is not the head of the newspaper: he's the head of the lit mag, as stated in the movie.

I loved Lisa Frankenstein so much lmao

Coles body language and facial expressions were perfect

3:37 context for everyone: Cerebral basically means more intelligent and caring about thoughts and ideas then physical or emotional things

This is the earliest I’ve ever been for a video 😭

6:52 isn't that Mike and Nancys dad from Stranger Things? 😂

My friend and I had such a great time at the theater, but yeah there was no one else there, which is a shame cause the movie definitely deserves better.

I liked Lisa Frankenstein. I like a wierd, dark comedy (heathers, beetlejuice, etc) i wish the ending wasnt so rushed, but liked the final scene.

"Is it weird that I kinda miss Riverdale?" Yes. The answer is yes, Mr. Alex Meyers. Great video though!

I’m buying this for my film collection. It’s campy and fun for a Frankenstein take. I originally was going to see Poor Things until I saw Prickly Alpaca talk about it. So this was worth it. The snappy lines and over the top reactions and scenes. Definitely agree “Bag your face” needs to make a comeback.

The movie keeps reminding me of heathers with its tone, costumes, and lighting . Speaking of which… PLEASE MAKE A HEATHERS VIDEO 💙💛❤️💚

Bruh, this movie sounds awesome! Finally something original and of course it flops because, despite what people say, in the end the only thing they'll actually watch ARE remakes, reboots and sequels. Fucking sucks, man.

This was the weirdest but also most camp movie ever

You should give Renfield with Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage a watch. It has the same vibes as this film and is just so fun. Also love your videos!!

My bestie and I died of muffled laughter during the slo-mo chopping off his hoohah scene, it was so hilarious. Other favorite part is when from off screen you hear Lisa shout from upstairs with the lights flickering… those who know, KNOW. 😂😂😂

Honeslty I had the same thought about this movie. It was original, it was fun, it was a great date movie to come out on Valentine’s Day. Like it was very wild some of the scenes but very creative and original in this genre of horror comedy. I think it was a good watch and should’ve had more advertisement and credit to get more people to see it

I think we may have another cult classic on our hands. Thank you Zelda Williams and Diabolo Cody

I have to thank you for not saying “un-aliving” herself. I really hate that when people say that to get around RU-vid’s ridiculous guidelines when it comes down to certain words. ANYWAY ….. You were far more creative by using “exterminates herself on purpose”. Brilliant! I loved it! 🤣👏

Excuse me! Literary magazine is NOT the school newspaper! It’s way more nerdy. It’s the creative writing magazine. So this dude writes poems about emo stuff probably

Taffy was definitely a show stealer! shes too good. 😊

This was such a great movie!!! I saw the commercial, was all in, was wasnt disappointed in the slightest. Actually it was even better than i was expecting.

bro just finds a way to make every movie crazy

"No one coddled me when my dad blew up in Da Nang." I really should not have found that as funny as I did.

Diablo Cody wrote the infamous Live Action Power Puff Girls pilot.

I really loved this movie, I saw it at the cinema with a few friends after bottomless brunch and we had an AMAZING time with it!! I watched it with my mum a couple weeks later and she also had a great time watching it. I think this could be a future cult classic and it makes me excited to see more projects from Zelda Williams as her directing was exceptional

He doesn't speak for most of the movie but does so well

I like the idea of a sequel set in the 90’s with references to “The Addams Family”, “The Craft” and “Dark Shadows”

While watching this movie, I couldn't help but wonder, "What would Robin think of this?"

I'm getting PTSD from the zombies movies help 😭

i don’t get to see movies in the theatre often which sucks but my bf took me to see Lisa Frankenstein for Valentine’s day bc i had been telling him about it since the first trailer. It was amazing, i’m obsessed, i found a bootleg on one of those sketchy free websites so that i can watch it whenever

That was quite the rollercoaster of a movie lol 😂

The fact that this movie shares the same universe as Jennifer’s Body makes this movie even better.

I'm not sure if you read these comments, but you should review the movie Electric Dreams! Its an obscure 80s romcom about a computer gaining sentience and getting into a love triangle with two humans! It definitely seems like the kind of "so bad its good" movie with a ridiculous plot that you seem to review. Plus its free to watch on RU-vid, has a small but thriving online community that is dying for someone to make a video about it, and may be getting a reboot soon. Its definitely worth a watch.

Me and my fiance saw this for Valentine's day. Such a good movie

This was the movie I wanted to see the most for 2024. I'm so mad it didn't come to theaters in Jamaica. Thank you for discussing it, the film's truly wonderful.

My wife and I loved it, one of my roommates came out during a scene asked what we were watching, then wanted to go watch it. My other roommate got home and was watching it with us for like a half hour and wanted to go watch it from the beginning

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO COVER THIS MOVIE FOR WEEKS I LOVE THIS FIIIIIILM

You're my comfort channel. Thank you for all the efforts you put in your videos!

It really does brighten up my day a bit whenever I see Alex has uploaded

People have described this movie as a future cult classic but due to the nature of streaming and the decline of physical media to encourage sales ( which is how cult classics formed in the past) i'm hoping this movie will get a second life on streaming. ( zombie reference.) I don't think people will be buying the blue rays for this movie which is how it would have become a cult classic years ago but now it's being shoved onto streaming services. IM OBSESSED WITH THIS MOVIE i hope your video will get more people to see it, and bring up it's streaming numbers since it didn't do the absolute best in theatres.

30seconds has me feeling chalant fr

I was waiting for this!!!!!!!! I just watched Lisa Frankenstein last weekend and I wondered if your gonna make a video ‘bout it. I really loved the movie, I never expected it’ll make me cry so much

Liza Soberano shone as Lisa's kindly stepsister Taffy, and I appreciated that they she was a likable cheerleader. I'm looking forward to seeing her in more Hollywood projects.

The word “recently” is definitely not the right choice when talking about Jennifer’s body gaining popularity lol

I was just about to start this on Peacock. Gonna watch your video first!

This movie is so unhinged in all the right ways. I think what turned a lot of people off from this movie is the fact that this is clearly catered to women and femmes. Does that mean men can't enjoy it? Absolutely not. I see Alex has enjoyed it greatly because of the dark humor. The entire movie of Lisa Frankenstein is catered to the female gaze which has recently been more shown in media. It's how women and femmes view the world around them and in romance. If you notice in most movies like Weird Science, it's basically men making a hot woman for the men to gawk at constantly. Lisa Frankenstein, while the looks of the creature are shown, the devotion and true love he has for her is what makes her fall in love with him. He loves her for who she is. Even the "devil's tango" scene, while they don't show a lot, is super romantic and my God the way he looked at her in that scene, I was melting.

Just bought an adorable etsy sticker of Lisa and the creature. It's so cute!

Since the moment I saw the trailer I thought it had Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, Tim Burton vibes I needed to watch it, it really deserves better

I remember seeing the trailer and thinking “Alex Meyers is gonna love this.”

It infuriates me to no end that this movie bombed. We dont deserve nice things. This movie shot up to my top 20 movies of all time the second I saw it. I saw it 3 times in theaters. Yeah thats right. Three. It was so great to see something different for freaking once! Its hilarious its sweet its twisted its unique Not to mention that its beautiful to look at And Diablo Cody said that Lisa Frankenstein and Jennifer's Body take place in the same universe so we could get a Diablo Cody movie monsters universe if people would just grow some taste??? why dont people like this movie???

You are always on point! Appreciate you for your work and sacrifice to give us reaction to these genre of tv show/movies

FINALLY, I've been waiting for this!!!!💯

I watched this movie the other day and thought it was amazing and then saw you posted this!

To be fair, Ira Glass is a treasure and I will always love him like an undead zombie

So happy you covered this one, I loved the movie so much! Just a delightfully macabre romcom.

Oh Alex, I knew you were the only one I could trust to review this movie! I knew you would get it! I'm so glad you get it! I love this movie so much! I have been writing fic for it like crazy!

The fact that they can afford their own self tanning bed!

Best theater experience while high (I’m so sorry to the girls siting behind me and my friends, we were LOSING it)

so happy you covered this one! and you're right, this movie deserved soooo much better, but i guess this genre is not everyone's cup of tea.

Thank you for reviewing this movie. It is so great and deserved more!!!

i saw this in theaters and it was such an insane movie and it’s one of my new favorites

The dad just plays the same dad as he did in stranger things 😂

I was literally depressed most of the day at work and one moment of the day I thought I hope there maybe a new video and when I got home and check RU-vid it was like a gift from the gods🤣 Seriously though thanks for the new video literally makes me laugh and made my day better thanks man truly

You're honestly my favourite youtuber. Thank you for making videos!

Your sacrifice is appreciated.

Bro what that’s insane I love this channel so much lol

One thing I appreciated was that the seemingly harmless and sensitive Doug was willing to take advantage of a vulnerable girl. They could have used any confident, smooth-talking jock type but they reminded the audience that anybody could be a predator.
