capri-3 "Lisa" takes me back when I was about 11 or 12 years old. Sometimes bad movies can be good if you grew up watching them. I watch this movie now and I say: "Ok it was kind of stupid, but I still like it". I don't know, I guess I am hooked on the whole fact of Lisa being this stupid kid doing the exact opposite of what I would have done. I get a kick out of watching movies; especially if it is dealing with other people's problems,it makes me feel better if I am having a bad day. Still the movie has it's suspense, and charm, and its about a 14 year old girl making really stupid mistakes, and of course paying for them! Haven't we all! I still love this movie and I'm still going to buy it!
FilmOtaku This film is a prime example of seeing a movie for the first time and liking it, then viewing it again years later and finding it completely ridiculous. I wouldn't put such a strong label as "completely ridiculous" on this film, but it's fairly close descriptor. "Lisa" is the story of a teenager who, with her best friend, basically stalk men that they think are "cute": Keeping scrapbooks of their polaroid snapshots, etc. This tactic finally goes horribly wrong when Lisa inadvertently fixes her attention on a man who ends up being "The Candlelight Killer", a serial killer who is terrorizing the city.As stated earlier, I had seen this movie about 12 years ago and thought it was fairly suspenseful. None of that suspense was apparent to me watching it this time, and unfortunately I can't blame it on knowing what was going to happen because I couldn't remember any of the scenes. The only vaguely interesting element to the film that made the film barely tolerable was the fact that the eventual "victim" was unknowingly stalking the killer - but I think I'm being generous in my assessment. This was basically a straight to video type film that could have been featured on the Lifetime network, and probably has been since it also features the horrible Cheryl Ladd. Unless you have a lot of patience to sit through a film with an unfulfilling ending, I would suggest bypassing this one.--Shelly
star83 I enjoyed this movie, and I don't enjoy most. This movie, although its main character is a teenie bopper, is quite satisfying. There is a killer, victims, suspense, and its surprisingly, interesting. It held my interest, and I wanted to know what would happen next. The acting wasn't that bad, either. This movie is surprisingly, good.
RHW5000 I remember when I first saw this film in 1992. I thought the story unfolded in a weird way, and I felt that the candlelight killer took too long to kill his victims; however, this movie contains a number of choice little parts. I especially liked the phone conversations that Stacy Keanan had with the killer. They sounded fun. The ending sparkled. I liked the way that Lisa and her mom kicked the bad guy's boonkey. Please check this film out. It's fun and different.
