For good or for ill, there are far worse titles you could watch.
Moments of violence tend to play out unconvincingly with a restraint suggesting lack of safety measures on the set and/or lack of will by the performers to risk real harm. Resulting blood and wounds more often than not seem critically underrepresented, and perfunctory. Characters are thin and dialogue is tawdrily direct, with only an occasional suggestion peeking through of greater care in the writing. Scenes in general are likewise too often penned with an indelicately forthright approach, and no few story beats plainly mirror earlier werewolf (or otherwise genre) stories with the tropes at hand.
The assembled cast sometimes seem to give reasonably capable performances exceeding the strength of the material - star Kristen Vaganos in particular - but it's at best difficult to discern considering the modest quality of the movie otherwise. At some point I quite enjoy Natalia Perez's score; at others, it's simply middling. I appreciate the subtle simplicity of the changes the camera shows in protagonist Lisa's features - eyes, hands, teeth. Given what we broadly get out of the movie, I suppose we should be glad there was little effort to employ more dramatic special effects.
There are two definitely solid elements in the picture; take these as you will. One is the portrayal of a small town practically held captive by a few cruel, corrupt individuals - and more specifically, the cruel, corrupt law enforcement they embody. The second is a scene set at a local metal show, in a bar of this small town - so poorly attended that it's awkward to behold. Having been to a few such shows myself, this is cheekily true to life.
In almost every way, 'I am Lisa' is characterized by aspects that infrequently show skill and worth while too much of the runtime is regrettably flimsy and weak. And so it is with the movie as a whole. It's not outright bad, but the entertainment here is cursory, offering crude satisfaction. I admire the effort to create a werewolf flick with limited screenwriting experience and seemingly few resources, and overall I like the feature more than I don't, despite its clear faults. That certainly doesn't mean it's not a rough ride, and I probably couldn't argue with any review offering a still more harsh perspective.
It had great potential, and there are some good ideas here. Still, how much one will enjoy it depends on the individual's will and patience to overlook and persevere through unfortunate flaws that are all too predominant. If that means you, then 'I am Lisa' is a passingly worthwhile watch if you come across it - just don't go out of your way, and keep your expectations in check.
