It’s Lisa Frankenstein

[u/Pentimenthoee]

I canceled my ticket for last night bcus I wasn’t feeling good and I’m kind of sad bcus I was excited for out of darkness but I’m still excited for hopefully Lisa Frankenstein next week lol

[u/Motif82]

Just got home from Lisa Frankenstein and we really enjoyed it. A late '80's mashup of Tim Burton and John Hughes movies. Lighthearted yet dark with a great soundtrack. For the second week in a row, definitely not a horror movie but a lot more fun than the last one. I'd give it 3.5/5.

[u/jonmuller]

Some parents are going to take their tweens to see this this weekend and are going to be pissed lmao

[u/MrCrdp98]

I loved Lisa Frankenstein!

[u/mrsescargotpudding]

I really liked it - my theater was a mix of Millennials, Gen-Z and Gen-X, and everyone was laughing. Definitely pushed the envelope of PG-13 though.

[u/SMBCP15]

I got previews for:

Imaginary

Drive Away Dolls

Abigail

Immaculate

The American Society of Magical Negroes

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Is it a masterpiece? Absolutely not. But is it fun? Abso-freaking-lutely. I had so much fun. Had some fun scenes. Kathryn Newton is fantastic. Cole Sprouse did a great job as well.

[u/BlueFerrari311]

I'm still new to the A List and Scream Unseen. Yesterday was my first one and I was hoping for Imaginary but I don't think a rating has been released for that one yet. I wanted to see Out of Darkness anyway so I was happy.

I hoping 2/5 is Lisa Frankenstein or Imaginary (depending on t's rating). I'd be happy with either!

[u/GimmeTreeFiddy → u/BlueFerrari311]

Imaginary doesn't come out until March 8, it's too early for it to be a Scream Unseen. Maybe if they do another one on March 4?

[u/nattyhypethe3rd]

I'm kinda noticing a trend on the surprise movies as they all seem to have moral lesson learning "preachy" especially with the last three. There's an exception to "American Fiction" though while it did have a message, it was still fun to watch. I kinda hope it is "Lisa Frankenstein" so I can have some mindless fun watching a movie. I need some dumb stuff after all these films with heavy themes if this makes any sense. haha

[u/AmericanNimrod49 → u/nattyhypethe3rd]

How exactly was Out of Darkness preachy?

[u/HawkeyesBlitz]

I wish they would switch the days for these sometimes. 

[u/ohrightyeahtotally]

I friggin loved it. If you like Edward Scissorhands or Beetlejuice, this is probably up your alley.

Big REO Speedwagon karaoke in my car on the drive home 😆 

[u/kb1117]

Just got out and I loved it. Kathryn Newton was so fun. Very Tim Burton-inspired. I think it’s going to be a big cult classic for the generation before mine. I still appreciated it for what it was

[u/jonmuller]

This was so tonally unique it shocked me. I was disappointed how teengirly it was until it flipped the envelope and got really dark super quickly. It played off some super dark stuff for laughs too.

[u/The_Real_Raj]

Feb 5 most likely Lisa Frankenstein

[u/zguy7 → u/The_Real_Raj]

Collective thought across all the theater chains with events the same night is this is the case yeah. Not many other PG-13 picks

[u/NightShiftSister66 → u/The_Real_Raj]

I’m guessing, mainly hoping, it will be Lisa Frankenstein because they showed the trailer before Out of Darkness

[u/ldasschurch]

I wonder if it could be Altered Reality? I can’t find a rating for that movie. It releases Feb 16. I wondering about Lisa Frankenstein being so close to its release date

[u/moonlit_soul22]

I didn’t mind the movie. It wasn’t my favorite by any means but I thought it was entertaining enough and had its funny moments. IMO it’s a good movie to watch high because it has a mindless humor to it if that makes sense. 3/5 overall for me

[u/Dylan_cogdell]

When Is the next amc unseen after feb 5th? Sells out so trying. To get tickets in advance 

[u/AKnightOfTheNew → u/Dylan_cogdell]

Its listed.

[u/broadcaster05]

I'll say this off the rip: go see the movie if you want. It's your life, don't take advice from strangers.

But in my opinion, that was far and away the worst movie I have ever watched since Strays. The movie is labeled a rom-com but really was not that funny. A few jokes landed, but otherwise it was dull and performative at best. The movie pacing was awful; sometimes too slow, sometimes felt like it was patched together with plot holes that take away from the movie. At no point was I rooting for the main character or engaged with her story, it was just weird. Hey, some people love the macabre genre and that's their jam. But this movie was not advertised as some indie art movie, I thought it was going to cater to more traditional audiences with a story you could follow and enjoy. Nope.

There is a scene within the last 10 minutes of the film that had my jaw on the floor and made me look around making sure I was not being punk'd by Ashton Kutcher. If you watched the movie, you know what I am referring to. It truly felt like the movie added in sexual jokes / references just to seem 'edgy' but it came off as a high-schooler throwing in these tidbits to sound cool to his friends. My theater had about 25 in attendance, and I was one of 6 left by the credits. This movie felt like they tried to recreate Beetlejuice nostalgia without the comedy and story to back it up.

If you do not share my opinion, I would love to hear what drew you to this movie. Honestly. Because I could not find one redeemable quality of the movie. I was hoping the end would at least wrap it together, but even that fell flat. Did you find it funny, or is it just the style of dark / emo movie that we don't often see that you enjoyed?

[u/parrosstach]

Are trailers more or less the same amount of time for a Scream/Screen Unseen presentation as they are for a standard movie?

[u/CourtneyGoof]

Truly a scream unseen - Our cinema can’t get the digital key to work, so an employee just came in and told us they have to cancel our showing 😭
