In the first phase of the genocidal Israeli war on Gaza, it was clear that the Palestinian Authority was caught off guard. Its leadership neither anticipated that the Gaza Resistance would carry out such an operation nor did they expect that the Israeli war would quickly reach the point of genocide, in a matter of days.

Despite its flaws and an '80s soundtrack that outshines the film itself, Zelda Williams' directorial debut, "Lisa Frankenstein," crafts a modern-day Frankenstein tale with a mix of camp, romance, and a dash of gore. This oddly satisfying concoction resembles the quirky storytelling of Tim Burton’s classics, such as "Edward Scissorhands" and "Beetlejuice."

Penned by Diablo Cody, known for "Jennifer's Body," the film is a coming-of-rage story about a misfit teenager and a reanimated corpse. Is this the dawn of a new cult classic?
