7/10
Instant cult classic energy.
29 March 2024
I have to give this a 7. It's campy. Corny. Filled with cliches, but, it's still an enjoyable movie, funny, and with enough originality to keep you watching and entertained. I loved it, if I'm being honest. The set designs, the characters, the colors and cinematic elements were all great. Even the music was top notch.

It's 1989, and Lisa Swallows is an outcast rebel with a loving family anxious to make her fit in. Her stepmother is the exception. She wants to see Lisa institutionalized, for a variety of reasons.

Lisa herself is a rebel teen in high school who has taken to an abandoned cemetery as she's obsessed with death and dying. She saw her mom killed by an axe murderer, and as such, she's been traumatized. But not to worry, a lightning storm and a bit of magic after a disastrous party changes Lisa's life forever.

Honestly, I can see this becoming a cult classic. Maybe even in a few years, seeing some new generation of outcasts falling in love with it.
