“Lisa Frankenstein” centers around Lisa Swallows who accidentally reanimates a handsome corpse (played by Cole Sprouse) from the Victorian era during a lightning storm.
The narrative unfolds as the pair embark on a darkly humorous journey seeking love, happiness and a few missing body parts along the way.
It is now showing in Philippine cinemas starting today, February 7.
It was in 2022 when Liza revealed that it has “always” been her dream to pursue a career in Hollywood. She did not renew her contract with ABS-CBN, her home network, in the same year.
