Lisa Frankenstein

"A charming curiosity, but falls far short of greatness."

"A faux outrageous undead teenage horror comedy that never finds its joke."

"It’s not funny or horrifying or fantastic, but it is disgusting."

"Alive but not kicking."

"(Williams) leans into the goth visuals while finding a fanciful, endearing edge."

"A lumbering oddity."

"A scattershot, gratingly self-amused script."

"Less a teen horror comedy and more a cosplay of one."

"Brief, pleasant and fun to look at."

"Likely to be one of the funniest films of the year."

"The shocks feel warmed-over, the special effects secondhand."

"A cute, quirky, disjointed and harmless dark comedy."

"Lets a fun idea go to waste."

"Unfunny, unclever and dull."

"In bringing a subgenre back from the dead, Cody and Williams could have used a little more life."

"As bright as Ms. Cody’s imagination is, she deserves a director who understands comic tempo."

"Might not prove as timeless as the movies it references, but it's fun and frothy enough."

"An interesting misfire."

"A single-joke skit that’s too self-aware to be distinctively funny, freaky or thrilling."
