Fans of horror comedies are excited about Lisa Frankenstein, which follows a teenage girl who reanimates a corpse into the man of her dreams. If you're wondering about the song used in the trailer for Lisa Frankenstein, we've got you covered!
Lisa Frankenstein: What Is the Song in the Teaser Trailer?
There are two Lisa Frankenstein trailer songs for prospective viewers to check out. The first is encountered in the upcoming movie's teaser trailer which came out in December 2023.
The song in question is "In the Next Life" by US-based German artist Kim Petras.
This is one of the pop singer's most popular songs. Its title and theme feel like a natural fit for the upcoming movie, which is inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein:
I'm the greatest God created
I'm a sickness, I'm contagious
I'm a demon, power trippin'
On a mission, and vindictive
Suffocating, exterminating
And I love it, every second
Full of hatred, irritated
Cut you open for entertainment
The lyrics seem to reflect the god-like power that we would associate with the reanimation of a human corpse.
Moreover, the potential evil outcomes of such a decision and the single-minded, if misguided devotion that such a task would require are also seemingly alluded to.
While the song wasn't necessarily written for a fantasy-horror concept like that of Lisa Frankenstein, it's a great fit.
Lisa Frankenstein's Official Trailer Song Explained
The official trailer of Lisa Frankenstein which was released in January 2024, features "The Promise" by the British band When in Rome.
"The Promise" was the synth-pop band's debut single and it was first released in 1988.
Lisa Frankenstein taps into the 1980s nostalgia of today's Millennial audiences and "The Promise" isn't the only 80s song that will feature in its soundtrack.
Once again, we doubt that the song was written for a reanimated lover from the Victorian era but Mary Shelley's book has shown us that there's no escaping the monster you reanimated.
Perhaps the song's lyrics that speak of a lover who will always be there in an almost obsessive way reflect that.
Viewers' enthusiasm about Lisa Frankenstein and the music it features really shows how sound can make a difference in one's perception of a movie.
Great music might not necessarily guarantee an equally amazing movie quality when it comes to characterization and plot.
However, it can help set viewers' expectations about the movie's vibe and create an irresistible mood that fans of earlier horror comedies like Beetlejuice or Edward Scissorhands will want to check out!
