Lisa Tries Love is an intriguing piece of horror that unfolds entirely through text messages, which is pretty unique. The atmosphere is tense and unsettling, with the pacing cleverly building dread as Lisa navigates her relationship. The use of screens creates a certain claustrophobia, emphasizing isolation in a hyper-connected world. It plays with themes of trust and the hidden darkness in digital communication, which feels very relevant today. I'm not sure who directed it, but the way they handle practical effects—if you can call them that since it's all on screen—is clever. The performances are surprisingly effective given the format, making you feel Lisa's rising anxiety as the thread darkens. Overall, it’s a fresh take on horror that really leans into modern fears.
