A campy mix of comedy romance horror. The comedy wasn't for me, I never laughed but I did chuckle one or two times. The romance is so cliché, silly and demands a suspension of disbelief, it sorta redeems itself in the third act but that's a little too late. The horror elements are very light with only two kills I believe. Really dig the 80's aesthetics with the costumes, hairstyle, colorful sets, neon lighting and soundtrack. Good performance from Kathryn Newton but her character lacks depth and not much of what she does makes any sense to me. Carla Gugino instantly steals the spotlight, love her as the evil stepmother. Overall not a terrible take on Frankenstein but it just doesn't come together like it should.
