Lisa Frankenstein (2024) – Ending Explained & Final Scene Breakdown

Still thinking about how Lisa Frankenstein (2024) ended? Here’s a full breakdown of the ending, key final moments, major twists, and the deeper meaning behind the film’s conclusion.

Throughout the film, Lisa hopes to escape her lonely and troubled life by creating her perfect romance with the dead young man she feels connected to at the cemetery. Her wish to be dead like him comes true during a storm that magically brings her the creature, a reanimated and partially reconstructed corpse. As The Creature transforms from a stinky, mutilated figure into an attractive young man through electrocution and body adjustments, Lisa’s feelings towards him shift from shock and confusion to love. She sees in him someone who accepts her for who she is, unlike the others in her life. Her relationship with The Creature becomes increasingly complex and dangerous, involving acts of violence and revenge. The Creature, in turn, helps Lisa gain confidence and turns her into a more rebellious figure at school. However, their bond becomes darker when The Creature murders Janet, Lisa’s stepmother, believing she was an obstacle to Lisa’s happiness. This act of violence is driven by The Creature’s desire to protect Lisa from further harm and to ensure they can stay together without interference.

As the story progresses, Lisa’s feelings deepen, and she begins to see The Creature as her true love, despite the chaos and moral cost. She even considers sleeping with Michael Trent, her crush, to clear her fears of dying a virgin. But before she can act on her feelings, she witnesses Michael in an affair with Taffy, which leaves her heartbroken and furious. In her anger, The Creature turns violent again, attacking Michael and Taffy with an axe, further escalating the chaos in her life.

Ultimately, Lisa’s dependence on The Creature and her love for him grow so intense that she chooses to die with him rather than face capture and punishment. She willingly steps into the tanning machine, electrocuting herself in a desperate act to be with him forever. As she dies, she is buried next to Janet, with her tombstone reading “beloved wife,” signifying her final acceptance of her unconventional, tragic love story. In her afterlife, Lisa reunites with The Creature, and together, they find a love beyond life, fulfilling her deepest wish of being with her supernatural partner forever. The film ends on a surreal and haunting note, emphasizing that their love, though bizarre and tragic, has found its ultimate and eternal form beyond the constraints of mortal life.
