I Am Lisa

Well, first of all I must say that for a werewolf movie then "I Am Lisa" was a bit stale and tame. I was expecting more lycanthropic action, but that was not really the case from writer Eric Winkler and director Patrick Rea.

With that being said, I must also say that "I Am Lisa" is a watchable movie, and it is actually interesting enough in the storyline, as it thoroughly deals with someone bitten by a werewolf and experiencing the slow transition and transformation. And that was actually somewhat interesting enough.

However, it was the lack of werewolves in general that sort of made it a less than mediocre movie experience for me. And this is by no means a contender to the "Ginger Snaps" movies.

The acting in "I Am Lisa" was good, and that definitely helped carry the movie a great long way, given the lack of bestial ferocity the movie had. However, some of the characters were shallow cardboard cutouts, stereotypical bullies, and were just lacking personalities and traits to make them worthwhile.

"I Am Lisa" is driven by its storyline first and foremost, so if you sit down to watch it in the hopes of it being a great werewolf movie with lots of scenes where you see the creatures and see their transformation, you'll be sorely disappointed. But if you sit down to watch the movie with the intention of seeing a woman's struggle with the transformation into something more-than-human and the drama that follows in the wake of that, then "I Am Lisa" will be a treat for you - some might say a doggy treat, watch the movie and you'll understand what I mean.

This 2020 addition to the werewolf genre wasn't really a movie that entered the scene with a bark at the moon. Nah, it was actually more of a whimper. I managed to sit through the entire movie, but I feel only adequately entertained. My rating of "I Am Lisa" is a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

I have seen some bad horror movies,(and ever worse werewolf themed movies), but this one is on a whole other level of terrible. It's like you take the worst parts of every werewolf movie you've ever seen (bad acting, terrible script, insufferable cast, amateurish special effects and some of the worst cinematography I've seen in any movie all year) and even that movie would be better than this one. Seriously, why go through all this trouble of getting funding, writing a script, finding a cast, and filming a movie if it is just going to be this dreadful? Did the creative team not screen this to anyone, and were the BOO's I'm sure they heard from the audience not enough to tell you that this movie was just plain bad? I just don't understand how a movie like this happens.

It's like everyone involved in this did not understand what it takes to make a watchable film. It really blows my mind that with all of the resources at someone's disposal, all of the best works to draw on and finding inspiration from past successful werewolf films, you still make THIS! It's enough to make this jaded horror fan weep in exhaustion.

Save your time, people. It's not worth it. Waste your time watching something dry. Like your tears.

Wow from the rating i though this revenge flick would be good but the werewolf bad makeup and low budget sort of killed the movie.

I think this revenge / werewolf story was not half bad for a low budget Indi film. Seen way too many movies with acting far worse, so this doesn't deserve all the 1's and 2's, nor does it rate any hire that a 6, even for a low budget Indi. Don't expect American Werewolf in London or even Ginger Snaps and you'll enjoy this one more.

Ah yes, a werewolf movie....if by "werewolf" one means a woman in yellow contact lenses and pointy teeth. Do not be misled: there are no actual werewolves in this movie. There is very little horror here as well. What we are treated to is a mopey girl who whines and complains throughout most of the film, saving the last 20 minutes for when she finally goes nuts, but even then, it's a huge disappointment because what you're expecting to finally happen..never does. The score was good though!
