History Film / LisaFrankenstein

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Nowadays it's quite rare to see a zombie resurected by electricity. The biggest differences are that the Creature doesn't need to eat human flesh (although he uses it in some other ways) and that his mind is adequate. [[spoiler: Not to mention that by the end of the film he regains his human appearence.]]

* PunBasedTitle: While the title does refer to Lisa and her ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}''-adjacent escapades, it's also a portmanteau of ''Frankenstein'' and Creator/LisaFrank, an artist known for her hyper-cutesy aesthetic in the late 1980s and mid 1990s.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While Janet is a horrid and conceited woman, her statements about Lisa's behavior do have some weight, in that Lisa's genuinely still not okay and it sometimes causes her to damage the house--in a twisted way, while Lisa's dad is nicer, ''Janet'' is the one who acknowledges Lisa's trauma from watching her mother be violently axe-murdered didn't just vanish. Her insistence that Lisa should be in a mental hospital is really just an excuse to get a "psycho" stepdaughter she doesn't like and finds inconvenient out of the way, but it's true Lisa might benefit from seeing a professional.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While Janet is a horrid and conceited woman, her statements about Lisa's behavior does have weight, considering some of Lisa's actions has caused some damage to the home.

** A cop catches Lisa and the Creature standing right by a dead body. Both of them are spattered with blood and Lisa is holding an axe, but the cop simply yells at them for trespassing on an active crime scene and tells them they can't be there.

* CovertPervert: Lisa of all people. When woken up by Taffy, she is embarrassed to find her hand [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown in her pants]], though Taffy assures her that everybody does it that at some point. When the Creature finds a back massager in her closet, Lisa tells him that he probably wouldn't want to touch that. Later, when he uses it to massage her back, she tells him that he can use it somewhere else, implying that she regularly uses it to pleasure herself.

* FriendlessBackground: Lisa doesn't appear to have any friends outside of her adoptive sister. She mentions how moving to her current home when her dad married Janet, forcing her to leave her school and friends behind.

* FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler: While they successfully managed to get Janet's dead body out of the home and into the cemetary, Lisa and the creature forgot to clean up her blood from the carpet in Lisa's bedroom. Lisa has to keep a concerned Taffy from spotting it when she comes into her room to tell her about Janet's disappearance.]]

* SealedWithAKiss: Intending to lure Doug into the cemetary so she and the Creature can take his hand, Lisa writes a love letter to ask if he likes her before leaving a LipstickMark at the top of the letter.

* BettyAndVeronicaSwitch: Gender Inverted. Michael and the Creature can simultaneously fill the roles of Betty and Veronica. At first Michael seems like a safe option in contrast to the undead serial killer, but aside from that the Creature acts like a perfect gentleman towards Lisa. While Michael, despite flirting with Lisa, ends up having secret romance with Taffy.

Not to mention that by the end of the film he regains his human appearence.

* FinalGirl: Subverted with [[spoiler: Taffy. Mainly because they tend to be the the protagonists, and Taffy herself isn't one. Although Taffy does have sex and [[RelationshipSabotage one morally questionable thing towards Lisa]], she was never targeted by either Lisa or the Creature. Mainly because [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Lisa acknowledged her well-meaning intentions.]] ]]

* Yandere: The Creature is a DoggedNiceGuy through out most of the film. Although he is not super jealous or possessive, he never hesitates to kill those who wronged Lisa (including his romantic rivals).

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Although Lisa (and possibly the Creature) is targeted by the police for the murders, she never really faces any punishment as she is presumed dead by the end of the film.]]

** Speaking of Frankenstein, Lisa is a short form of Elisabeth/Elizabeth, which is the name of Victor Frankenstein's fiancée in Mary Shelley's nover.
