6/10

Prosaic flick about a mother & daughter's clash with a serial killer

A 14 years-old girl (Staci Keanan) inadvertently strikes up a secret relationship with a distinguished restauranteur in Hollywood (DW Moffett). Unfortunately, he might also be the notorious Candlelight Killer, which would put her and her mother in danger (Cheryl Ladd).

"Lisa" (1990) is a coming-of-age drama meshed with PG-13 slasher. Writer/director Gary Sherman knows how to make atmospheric horror in view of his well-done "Dead & Buried" (1981). I happened to see Brian De Palma's "Dressed to Kill" (1980) the night prior and it was thoroughly artistic and well-written with genuine surprises. This film, by comparison, strikes me as by-the-numbers, which no doubt had to do with the modest budget.

Nevertheless, "Lisa" is a perfectly serviceable film in which the mother & daughter are successfully fleshed out and you find yourself caring for them and their outcome. Staci was only 14 during shooting while Cheryl was 38. If you're a fan of either, this is certainly worth checking out, even though it's not exactly high art.

The movie runs 1 hour, 35 minutes, and was shot in Hollywood (the apartment, flower shop and school) and Muse restaurant on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Wissenswertes
The movie was originally supposed to go straight to video. However, director Gary Sherman felt that the movie was good and strong enough to go into a general theater release. MGM was more interested in putting the film direct to video on account of the lucrative profits it stood to make from it. Nevertheless, MGM allowed the movie to go into a limited theater release of about 200 theaters over a weekend. The movie made four million dollars in that one weekend prompting Sherman to push for a wider release. However, MGM eventually declined and put the movie straight to video and on HBO from which they made a substantial amount of money.

Katherine's business is called "Designs by Katherine" as stated by her, her employees, and on the back door of her store, but when Richard looks at the credit card imprint, it is written as "Flowers by Katherine."
