My Friend Lisa

About This Movie

My Friend Lisa is an intriguing piece from 2017 that walks the tightrope between eerie and unsettling. The film's atmosphere is thick with dread, almost palpable, and it leans heavily on practical effects that feel refreshingly real against the often CGI-heavy landscape of modern horror. The pacing is deliberately slow, which serves to heighten the tension – you feel every moment, every whisper. The themes of friendship and isolation are explored, but not in a typical way; it twists toward the macabre, leaving you questioning the nature of relationships. The performances, while not ultra-polished, carry a raw authenticity that adds to the film's overall unsettling vibe. There’s something about it that sticks with you, even if it’s not the usual fare you'd expect from the genre.
