I watched Lisa Frankenstein yesterday and boy, was it nice to watch.
I do have to say that I didn't really paid attention to the synopsis before watching it so I wholefully believed that Lisa would be reviving a guy, and to my surprise she didn't!

Despite that, this movie was... something, I do have to say. I was expecting a nerd, not being understood by anyone and thus creating her perfect boyfriend, but at the end I was faced with a traumatised girl, stuck in a shit family situation with an awful step-mother and everyone thinking she's weird because she doesn't look like popular girls and because she doesn't talk much.

One of the main thing that made me go bonkers is the fact that Lisa's life has been shattered by some guy getting in her house and killing her mother with an axe. The catalyst to her misery was a guy entering her house by the living-room's window, but then, the catalyst to her freedom is ALSO a guy entering her house by the living-room's window. The axe also makes a come back each time someone is killed in her vicinity (except for her step-mother).
I think it's avery nice touch to show that the same things that started the movie are the same things that helped finish it.

A second thing I just LOVE is how each body parts that is taken from people who just got killed are used for The Creature. Not just that, but those are used the exact opposite they were used towards her.
The first is her step-mother's ear. This woman NEVER listened to her and didn't care for her. But once this ear is on The Creature, it is used to listen to her and thus care for her.
The second is Doug's hand. He used this hand to try taking advantage of her when she was high, but once it gets on ther The Creature's hand, it is used to protect her.
The third is Michael's dick. Lisa has a crush on the guy, and her one desire is to have sex at least once before she dies, wanting to do it with him. However, he is already boning her step-sister, which means she will be denied this one wish. After The Creature cut it off (and ran away with it) it used to give her this one thing.

I think that's a fantastic move and is a proof of The Creature's love for her. And I do have to say that it would've been nice to know where The Creature got his tongue from.

A third amazing thing, which brings so much to the movie, is the constant presence of electricity. Electricity is the first bad thing happening to Lisa, electricity is what brings The Creature back to life, electricity is what makes The Creature whole again, electricity is what kills Lisa.
Electricity is what starts the movie, but also what ends it. It is the tool through which Lisa lives again, but also with which she dies in order to finally live a better life (or death, considering).

And, little fun fact, The Creature fell in love with Lisa right away. In French, to say that you loved someone at first sight, you say that you had a "coup de foudre", which is a thunderbolt.

Electricity is EVERYWHERE.

This is overall an amazing movie, which brings out a traumatised girl, getting better not thanks to therapy, but by getting worse. She heals by destroying the people around her and she takes back her life by leaving it.
She has a special connection with death, between her mother, the murders, The Creature, but also her trauma/depression.

It might not be THE movie of all time, but it sure is a movie worth watching and that I would recommend.
