Mix equal parts '80s nostalgia, teen rom-com, and oddball horror and you'll get Lisa Frankenstein— soon to be the latest addition to the Peacock movie catalog. The film landed in theaters in February and is already headed to streaming, where it'll likely fare better.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Lisa Frankenstein,the fresh spin on an old corpse tale. Plus, the best Peacock streaming deals.

What is Lisa Frankenstein about?

Written by Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body) and directed by first-timer Zelda Williams, Lisa Frankensteinfollows Lisa (Kathryn Newton), a high school outcast in the '80s. She longs to be with her dream guy, who happens to be a 19th century dead guy buried in the graveyard she frequents. A Mary Shelley-esque miracle brings her dream guy (Cole Sprouse) to life, which spawns a newfound confidence in Lisa and leads to a journey of love and murder. It's a "delightfully deranged" rom-com, as Mashable's Film Editor Kristy Puchko wrote in her review.

Here's a look at the horror-comedy in the official trailer:

Is Lisa Frankenstein worth watching?

It may not have dominated the box office or scored perfect ratings across the board of critics, but this teen tale is anything but dull. And if Rotten Tomatoes is any indication, it's a hit amongst audiences.

Puchko notes that this "gleefully fucked-up comedy" may have a few wonky bits, but that's what helps it "hit the sweet spot of those '80s comedies that have come before."

"Here is a movie that isn't afraid to wear its oddball heart on its sleeve, combining the horny and horrific, the goofy and the gross, to dynamic effect," she adds.

Is Lisa Frankenstein streaming?

Lisa Frankensteinwill officially make its streaming debut on Peacock on March 29, less than two months after its theatrical debut. If you already have a Peacock subscription, you're good to go. If not, you'll need to sign up to watch — and unfortunately, there's no free trial.

Peacock is still one of the most affordable streaming services on the market, despite its price hike last summer. If you don't mind a few ads interrupting your streaming experience, it'll cost you just $5.99 per month. For the ad-free Premium Plus plan, it'll run you $11.99 per month instead.

Before you sign up for Peacock to watch Lisa Frankenstein, do yourself a favor and check out the deals below. You can score a Peacock subscription at a discount or you may even qualify for a free account if you're eligible.

Best long-term Peacock deal

If you're not interested in long-term streaming on Peacock, you can sign up for as low as $5.99 for the month, then cancel.

It'll cost you either $59.99 per year with ads or $119.99 per year without — that's 12 months of streaming for the price of 10, or about 17% in savings.
