That's usually how things go that actors play high school roles until they're about 25 or so. There just seems to be more roles for characters high school aged then there is for roles for 20 somethings.
I had to search up her age cause she’s been in a lot of things but honestly she could’ve fooled me. Even at 27 she’s a pretty convincing teenage character.
Side note - I just really appreciate the fact that Chris focused solely on how Zelda did as a director and not associate or describe her as Robin Williams' daughter.
My local theater does "Mystery Movie Monday" where they show a surprise, upcoming movie for $5. Went in not sure what to expect and then his movie started. I'd never seen a single trailer or heard it was coming out, but I absolutely LOVED it. When it was over, I said to fiance that I could see this getting some sort of cult following and I'm so glad that Chris took the words right out of my mouth lol
I'm excited to see more of Zelda Williams' projects in the future. I love the aesthetics and soundtracks, Cole Sprouse was very expressive and looked unrecognisable, and Liza Soberano was great as Lisa's kindly cheerleader stepsister.
I saw it in theaters recently and I thought it was quite charming! I loved Cole Sprouse's character as The Creature. For not saying a word until the very end he still has a ton of personality! He's like Johnny Depp from 30 years ago! I also really liked the cinematography and aesthetics of the film, it genuinely felt like a movie that would've come out in 1989 when it takes place. I have no doubt this will be seen as a cult classic years down the road.
Saw this with no idea what it was just because all the other movies sucked at the theatre. Really turned out to be a pretty good movie with a strong director obviously this movie has vision and is not just checking boxes like most do
Yeah should have released it around Halloween would have made more sense but I guess it is kinda Love story so maybe this why it's getting released before Valentine's Day 💘
@@SeanKapandayan C'mon dude, seriously? You don't know who Robin Williams is? You've never seen Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting, Aladdin, Jumanji (1995), Good Morning Vietnam, Flubber?
@@SeanKapandayaninstead of asking this, it would have been much faster to Google it. Plus you would avoid any trolls that would give you wrong answers.
Just saw this movie with my wife yesterday. We had a blast. I don't get why it was rated as low as it is on RT. We need more unique films like this honestly. Also was a bit sad that there were only two other couples at the show watching it on the weekend 💀
I adored this movie! I absolutely thought of Heathers immediately. It was so colorful and packed so much personality especially between Kathryn, Cole, and Liza as well. It was also so unapologetically murderous and campy and I’m so happy to see a dark comedy of this caliber from a directorial debut
When I interviewed her and Diablo for this we turned into three gals geeking out about Frankenhooker and My Boyfriends Back. That gives you an idea of this flick.
Oh, memories unlocked! I had totally forgotten about My Boyfriends Back (and I even had a poster of that on my door as a kid!) and Frankenhooker haha! That and Big Meat Eater were our super B-movie recommendations to people to suss out who had a sense of humor or not lol
I'm glad I caught this one in theaters because i hope it will encourage studios to give films like this a chance instead of the constant reboots. And I'm so glad you mentioned Cole Sprouse in this. I have kids that were obsessed with The Suite Life and to see him turn in a performance like this was awesome. He was so great with just grunts and body posturing.
Same. I was waiting for anything redeemable for her. She did nothing wrong except maybe keeping her thing with Michael a secret. Thats it. But she’s Lisa’s hype girl and protector up to the very end. Oh well. Loved it still.
Yeah. Poor thing. Taffy was very refreshing. She is a step-sister character that is actually nice and even lovable. I am glad that Taffy and the dad survived in the end. They were good people.
@@c.d.dailey8013 Taffy wasn’t that great of a person she slept with Lisa’s crush with full knowledge and seemed to move on fairly quickly from Lisa’s death which Lisa expected was going to happen.
@@MetalMadness_00I think that’s why she tried to keep Michael away from her. Since he kept trying to get close to Taffy’s sister knowing fully well Lisa liked him. Taffy tried to protect her in her own way. By telling her there’s better guys. Lisa didn’t know, but Taffy already knew how Lisa would react & feel if she knew.
I just saw this today and I wasn’t sure at first but this movie was pretty cool, it’s like an 80s teen comedy/ dark romance and I like how Cole sprouse was very expressive for a mostly mute character
I went to a press/advance screening. Hope everyone gets to see this film in theaters! If the movie does well, we might get more projects from Zelda Williams. This is Zelda's first major film so be patient and excited.
I think that this movie will eventually be celebrated as a cult classic, much like Diabolo Cody's own "Jennifer's Body." Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse were fun to watch, and while the execution didn't always land, it was still entertaining.
My friend took me to see this last night. I hadn’t heard of it so I had zero expectations. I loved this movie sooooo much! I ugly-face cried and clapped at the end! Instant favorite!
For a directorial debut, I thought this was an overall very strong film ffom Zelda Wiliams. It wasn original or groundbreaking or anything, but simply a very fun and hilarious horror romcom that felt very reminiscent of Tim Burton’s earlier films like Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, along with Warm Bodies but with the roles reversed. And I’m definitely more than looking forward to what Williams has in store for the future. I also saw it early due to the AMC Screen Unseen program, and it’s definitely been my 2nd favorite of the mystery movies so far. Only behind American Fiction.
I have seen this movie four times now in the theater and I absolutely love it. I have missed the joy of the theater experience and I think this movie definitely brings the fun back to movies. The music is great, the characters are great, and the 80’s time frame is great. 🖤🖤🖤
Same. I wanted there to be a scene were *SPOILERS* it shows him reanimating her. Instead I felt it was a little rushed with him reading her the book and it could have been heightened with a good music choice or something more bombastic. Overall, I really liked the movie.
As someone who was a teen in the 80s, I felt this film so much. And I completely identified with the lead, Lisa. Plus, the soundtrack was totally awesome!! 🤘
Tbf there’s loads of positive reviews. Some top critics loved it and some hated it. It’s the definition of mixed reviews from critics but the audience loves it more then the critics.
Thanks for reviewing these types of movies! I would never know about them otherwise. My friends and I really enjoy these off-beat original films. It's not uncommon for me to say something like, "Let's go see this, it's Stuckmann approved!"
Grace Randolph trashed on it and literally said don’t go see it or stream it when it’s available. Thank you for liking it and being honest! It looks awesome and I hate the negativity.
Just saw this on streaming for the first time and absolutely loved it. Like you said, it reminded me of Heathers and Edward Scissorhands (two of my favorite movies) while still being very unique. Definitely doesn't hurt that I love Jennifer's Body as well. It's sad that most critics didn't get that movie or this one. I think Diablo Cody is brilliant, and Zelda Williams did a great job. Such a perfect love letter to fans of classic horror and dark romance.
From the opening credits, I had a feeling I would like the movie. It was such a fun movie and the kind of humor this had killed me! Had me in stitches if you will 😂 My theater clapped when the credits rolled 🔥
Our theater was evacuated in the second act, but wow what a charming, refreshing, unexpectedly awesome little movie!! I can't wait to get back to finish it!!
Jennifers body gets soooo much unfair hate!! I freakin LOVE that movie!! I think if people gave it a REAL shot, theyd see how awesome it truly is!! Thanks for keeping up the defense chris!!😁😁🤘🤘
Jennifer's body is way good movie than this Lisa Frankenstein. Jennifer's Body has unique plot story whilst this Frankenstein was like copied from Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp's movie styles mixed all together..
@jesicaerich619 we should just love all strange, dark movies and support them as much as we can!! Those depp/carter movies are pretty much tim burton movies and these movies are clearly just a new generation being inspired by those!! If im not mistaken, this movie was written by the same person who wrote jennifers body, just directed by someone else, its why the styles so similar and thats why jennifers body was brought up!!
@@sircliffordmalcolmjac5870 I appreciate the original movies, those with writers and directors who thought of unique plot, something you haven't seen from other movies. 🙄 This Lisa Frankenstein was just a copy. So yeah it's corny.
this movie is a throwback to 80s aeshtetic and style. they were always campy in hindsight, over the top, and need to generously suspend your disbelief lol
Damn the rotten tomatoes are so much negative on this much literally 52% of 92 reviews but Chris is giving a positive review may be he is thinking critics are mad again like for movie Jennifer body again
I saw this movie on the day it came out and I didn't regret it one bit. I love this movie it is definitely going on my popcorn night roster right next to Heather's.
Zelda Williams nailed this one, I saw this movie on valentines day with my wife and we had a great time. I hope Zelda Williams' career really takes off from here.
I agree with you on almost everything. The impossible things needed no explanation, a corpse came back to life because of a weird lightning strike. What bothered me at first is the fact that he knew how to drive a car. But considering the absurdity of everything else, I got over it quickly. I absolutely loved this movie.
I absolutely adore this review! I was excited to listen to a pair of reviewers that I really like tell us what they thought of this film, Lisa Frankenstein; a film that I felt looked very interesting. They both hated it! A lot. Personally, I completely agree with Mr. Stuckman’s thoughts on LF!!!
I saw this movie last night and really had a blast with it. Me and my friend we laughed so hard at some of the crazy scenes with comedy. One of new favorite horror movies.
Now THIS is why I appreciate your reviews, Chris... you look for how well the filmmaker succeeded at what THEY wanted to create rather than judging it for what they "should" have made , and you don't try to be condescendingly clever!!! I've seen and enjoyed many movies that I otherwise would not have thanks to you!!! I just can't wait to see Shelby Oaks, soooo looking forward to it!!!
Saw this late last night by myself and only another couple in the theater. I love Kathryn Newton so that's why I wanted to see this movie. I didn't expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did, and I feel like I want to say I loved it lol. Being a horror romantic comedy it was certainly unique, and the couple were laughing throughout the movie so it wasn't just me who liked it lol.
Wanted to love this movie way more than I did. People will love it for the vibes, but the third act is a total mess and structurally it doesn’t hold up. Watch it for the production design and physical comedy, but the emotional beats are flat and empty (in this one person’s opinion)
its a generic 1980s psychotic teen killer romance a bit like heathers but minus the unlikeable entagonists, I guess the step mom counts but shes bearly and inconvenience. This movie needs a shot of spiderman 2 but other then that its mostly fine . I'd like to see her as the villain in something
Scream Queen 👑 Okay so its not Lisa Frankenstein but I do have this new movie I found starring Taissa Farmiga called Final Girl. (Its just one I rented 4 fun, but I wanted to spread the word! Okay this is Totally like AHS 1985! With Max (that's her character's name) Getting sucked into an 80's horror slasher that her mom (who was a former Scream Queen, or Final Girl was in) And this is just a totally rad film! Basically they're fighting their way outta an 80's Slasher like Friday The 13th) And its like a complete time warp thru the 80's! 🎉And its a comedy! This movie is So funny! Cause not only does it have everything 80's (the 80's will never die! 😊) But its packed with pop culture references on Slasher movies as well! You should watch the trailer 2! Its called Final Girl, and its totally rad!
I loved the movie it has plot twist, storyline, good scripting, way better than the Argyle which was all over the place, no plot, sadly written script. I will be seeing this movie twice. Plus it reminded me of my childhood in the 80s so alot of the movie was hilariously relatable 🙂👌❤
So wish you would do more stuff with spoilers just so we got longer videos that have you going into the film a bit more. I have always enjoyed listening to you break movies down and I get not all of them work for that, this one seems like one that would make an amazing video
This movie really should've been rated R. You can tell a lot of the kills were toned down. It also felt like the director's vision didn't quite blend with the writer's. The lines they were saying were funny, but the delivery and pacing was so slow, hardly anyone in the theater was laughing. There were also a lot of story threads that just got dropped in the third act, like with the rival goth girl. I feel like they could've sped up the pacing of the first two acts, added a few more scenes in act three and still kept the same runtime
it seems like Kathryn Newton has been playing a teenager forever. I remember her on a CBS sitcom from a long time ago, and all these years later, still playing a teenager and she's nearly in her 30s
I think it's all about how you look. Even though she's thirty (ish), she still looks like a teen. Take Nick Robinson, for example. He's damn near thirty and still gets cast as a teenager.
When I first heard about this from Diablo Cody, just from the description,before the trailer came out I already knew I was gonna love it. The soundtrack was chefs kiss
I know that you shouldn't always jump to comparing someone to their successful parents, but I will support anything she does at least based on that fact. The things Robin did for my life, the least I can do is pay ticket price to support his kid. I'll only sing her praises based on her own merits, but my ass will be in the seat regardless.
The fact that Kathryn newton been playing high school since paranormal activity 4 in 2012 is insane
That's usually how things go that actors play high school roles until they're about 25 or so. There just seems to be more roles for characters high school aged then there is for roles for 20 somethings.
She plays it very well! Love her
I had to search up her age cause she’s been in a lot of things but honestly she could’ve fooled me. Even at 27 she’s a pretty convincing teenage character.
She looks so old.
One of the only people playing that age who looks that age
What caught my eye about Lisa Frankenstein is how colorful it is from the trailer. Something different so I’m definitely watching this weekend.
Fellini mixed with Rodger Waters.
Let us know your thoughts when you see it!

It used to be back when it came out, not anymore not after Gen Z found it lol.
@@ramencat788it came out at a weird time. People are too caught up in nostalgia
This movie would’ve been absolutely perfect for me in high school, but now even in my late 20s I still enjoyed it. Everyone involved did great
I loved it nice film, funny & visually nice escapisim
It looks like it's fun and quirky, and this review has given it such high praise. I was curious, now I'm hyped.
This was a good movie for her debut. It had a unique visuals and a good twist on a classic story!
Saw this late last night by myself and only another couple in the theater. I love Kathryn Newton so that's why I wanted to see this movie. I didn't expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did, and I feel like I want to say I loved it lol. Being a horror romantic comedy it was certainly unique, and the couple were laughing throughout the movie so it wasn't just me who liked it lol.
I got 'Warm Bodies' vibe.
I didnt expect the ending and i loved it 😍
I watched it coz Cole Sprouse really nails the Burtonesque, Gothic character. Plus , he was really Hot !!
Chris talking about Jennifer's Body is the most emotion he's shown in 9 years
I grew up with Chris' emotions
I love that they used the Chameleons song “Up the Down Escalator” in this movie. I hope it gives that band more attention-they deserve it!
Just finished it! IT’S SO GOOD.
Didn't know this movie existed, nor Zelda Williams being a director. Keen to see it now cheers.
Wanted to love this movie way more than I did. People will love it for the vibes, but the third act is a total mess and structurally it doesn’t hold up. Watch it for the production design and physical comedy, but the emotional beats are flat and empty (in this one person’s opinion)
This reminded me of My Boyfriend's Back from 1993, I love that someone want to make wacky films again
its a generic 1980s psychotic teen killer romance a bit like heathers but minus the unlikeable entagonists, I guess the step mom counts but shes bearly and inconvenience. This movie needs a shot of spiderman 2 but other then that its mostly fine . I'd like to see her as the villain in something
This movie is definitely going to gain a cult following from all the reviews I have watched.
Scream Queen 👑 Okay so its not Lisa Frankenstein but I do have this new movie I found starring Taissa Farmiga called Final Girl. (Its just one I rented 4 fun, but I wanted to spread the word! Okay this is Totally like AHS 1985! With Max (that's her character's name) Getting sucked into an 80's horror slasher that her mom (who was a former Scream Queen, or Final Girl was in) And this is just a totally rad film! Basically they're fighting their way outta an 80's Slasher like Friday The 13th) And its like a complete time warp thru the 80's! 🎉And its a comedy! This movie is So funny! Cause not only does it have everything 80's (the 80's will never die! 😊) But its packed with pop culture references on Slasher movies as well! You should watch the trailer 2! Its called Final Girl, and its totally rad!
I loved the movie it has plot twist, storyline, good scripting, way better than the Argyle which was all over the place, no plot, sadly written script. I will be seeing this movie twice. Plus it reminded me of my childhood in the 80s so alot of the movie was hilariously relatable 🙂👌❤
This movie gave me soooo much joy 🎉🎉🎉 so, so clever and fun and wacky and charming
I loved it. And i hate romances generally. The couple had great chemistry and i loved the high camp of ot all.
So wish you would do more stuff with spoilers just so we got longer videos that have you going into the film a bit more. I have always enjoyed listening to you break movies down and I get not all of them work for that, this one seems like one that would make an amazing video
I saw this film last night! And liked it!
It was kinda cheesy at times, but I enjoyed it!
I want to see this movie but in the back of my mind, I don't think it will be good.
This movie really should've been rated R. You can tell a lot of the kills were toned down.
It also felt like the director's vision didn't quite blend with the writer's. The lines they were saying were funny, but the delivery and pacing was so slow, hardly anyone in the theater was laughing.
There were also a lot of story threads that just got dropped in the third act, like with the rival goth girl.
I feel like they could've sped up the pacing of the first two acts, added a few more scenes in act three and still kept the same runtime
it seems like Kathryn Newton has been playing a teenager forever. I remember her on a CBS sitcom from a long time ago, and all these years later, still playing a teenager and she's nearly in her 30s
I think it's all about how you look. Even though she's thirty (ish), she still looks like a teen. Take Nick Robinson, for example. He's damn near thirty and still gets cast as a teenager.
@@rachelmartin5187 she doesn't look like a teenager, at all. she looks like she should be playing one of the teachers.
I think the movie was great! It was a fun ride. The breath of fresh air the theatre needed
When I first heard about this from Diablo Cody, just from the description,before the trailer came out I already knew I was gonna love it. The soundtrack was chefs kiss
I know that you shouldn't always jump to comparing someone to their successful parents, but I will support anything she does at least based on that fact. The things Robin did for my life, the least I can do is pay ticket price to support his kid. I'll only sing her praises based on her own merits, but my ass will be in the seat regardless.
