Kathryn Newton plays Lisa, a school girl who lost her mom and now her dad is married to another woman (Carla Gugino, one of my favorites over the years). Lisa is a bit different from her classmates, a bit Gothic, and enjoys visiting the old cemetery. She often takes along paper and charcoal to make impressions of the interesting headstones.
One day "a creature" (Cole Sprouse who I so enjoyed as Jughead in the 'Riverdale' series) follows her home. In a seemingly unlikely development she is not afraid of him but he is dirty and smelly so she orders him to take a shower. He is from the cemetery, he is now an undead and has the peculiar attribute of very smelly, gag-worthy green tears when he is sad. He is also missing a few body parts and there are humorous scenes where Lisa finds replacements and sews them on him.
The whole movie is a dark comedy, as it turns out there are some deaths. And the ending with Lisa and the creature together comes as a bit of a surprise.
I found it on one of my streaming services, it is just a fun 'something different' movie and the acting is very good.
