This version is set in 1989 and follows an unpopular high school girl (Lisa) who accidentally brings a Victorian corpse back to life during a lightning storm and proceeds to turn him into her dream man using a tanning bed in her garage.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Kathryn Newton features as the titular Lisa. It is so far unknown who Sprouse plays, but it could well be the re-animated corpse. The film also stars The Haunting of Hill House actress Carla Gugino.
Lisa Frankenstein comes from director Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late Robin Williams. While she has previously helmed several short films, this is her feature film directorial debut.
