LISA FRANKENSTEIN isn't just a movie; it's a love letter to the misfits, the goths, and the dreamers of the '80s era. Director Zelda Williams crafts a stunning debut, blending horror and comedy into a neon-soaked homage that resonates with both swooning romance and biting humor. Diablo Cody's script shines with its signature wit, likely paving the way for another cult classic akin to Jennifer's Body. Set in 1989, Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton) is a high school senior navigating a new town haunted by her tragic past. Her father's hasty remarriage and a stepfamily straight out of a nightmare compound her sense of isolation. But when a bolt of green lightning resurrects the charming Creature (Cole Sprouse) from his grave, Lisa finds an unlikely ally in her quest for love and acceptance. Visually and aurally stunning, LISA FRANKENSTEIN transports viewers to a world of moody neons and dreamy aesthetics. Director of Photography Paula Huidobro and the creative team per

The biggest box office failures of all time are typically measured by the extent of their financial losses rather than just their underperformance at the box office. Some of the most notable ones include: " Mars Needs Moms " (2011) - This animated film from Disney is often cited as one of the biggest box office failures. It had an estimated production budget of around $150 million but only grossed approximately $39 million worldwide. The film's poor performance was attributed to a combination of factors, including unappealing marketing, a lackluster story, and the uncanny valley effect caused by the motion capture animation. " John Carter " (2012) - Based on the classic sci-fi novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, "John Carter" had an estimated production budget of around $250 million. However, it struggled to find an audience and only grossed around $284 million worldwide. Despite having a loyal fan base, the film's marketing campaign failed to effectiv

"In the Land of Saints and Sinners" is a gripping and poignant return to form for Liam Neeson, who effortlessly embodies the tough yet complex character of Finbar Murphy in this evocative thriller set against the backdrop of 1974 Ireland. Directed by Robert Lorenz, the film offers a refreshing departure from Neeson's more conventional action roles, showcasing his versatility and depth as an actor. Neeson's portrayal of Murphy, an ex-assassin haunted by his past, is both captivating and emotionally resonant. As the narrative unfolds, we are drawn into Murphy's world—a world where past deeds and personal demons collide, leading to a gripping tale of redemption and self-discovery. The film's setting in the coastal village of 1970s Glencolmcille adds authenticity to the whole affair, capturing the rugged beauty of the Irish landscape while also serving as a driving force in the unfolding drama. The attention to detail in recreating 1970s Ireland is impeccable, tra
