Yes, Cute Guys Can Be Psychos, Too, Girls! Watch Out!

This was a beautifully crafted suspense thriller about an overprotected 14-year-old girl named Lisa (played by Staci Keanan) who, in her innocent attempts to have some involvement with the opposite sex, becomes tied up in conversing by phone with a handsome guy, who unknown to her is the crazed serial killer responsible for several murders of young single women in the area where she and her single mom live.

Staci Keanan and Cheryl Ladd made a wonderful mother-daughter team. There are many suspenseful moments involving Lisa and the killer, yet the whole time she has no clue just how dangerous this handsome young man she stalks really is. It would make any teen think twice before trying to pick up a handsome stranger. I was thirteen when this film was first released in 1990. "Lisa" sure scared the hell out of me when I first saw it.

Trivia
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.

Goofs
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."
