| Chicago TribuneJohanna SteinmetzLisa is no mindless run-of-the-mill ripoff. Closer to a true homage, it has a style and wit all its own in the hands of Sherman, who, after a decade of turning out such minor genre gems, continues his career as one of Hollywood's most underrated directors. |
| Portland OregonianTed MaharLisa isn’t ineffective. It’s shaped in the usual sadistic way that leaves some audiences howling with blood-lust by the climax. But it’s basically a nasty movie that tries to end up nicey-nice: a house-cat of a sex-thriller that wants to claw the hell out of you and then curl up to warm milk and velvety hugs. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's a bludgeon movie with little respect for the audience's intelligence, and simply pounds us over the head with violence whenever there threatens to be a lull. Anyone can make a movie like this. |
| User ReviewAnthony CThe best. Awesome script and music. Loved everything about this film. Gem. Such a gem. |
| User ReviewReginald Wmaybe i'm biased because i grew up watching this movie.... repeatedly (USA movie junky). but i think it's a good movie that shows what kinda crazy bullshit silly teen girls get into when they try to be grown women. |
| User ReviewAlexandra WAn engrossing and disturbing amalgamation of Nancy Drew, an 80s after school special, and an episode of SVU. |
| User ReviewBruce sI saw this so long ago, but I remember it was not very good. |
| User ReviewJames TStaci Keanan gives a charming performance as the title character. Some fine acting is displayed when a red-faced and panic ridden Lisa is hiding in the back of Richard's car with Richard driving and unaware of her presence. There is a noticeable blooper involving Richard's license number but other than that, this movie was alright. |
| User ReviewSlim tI didn't like it-another movie put on rotation to scare women on [i]Lifetime[/i].The premise could have been better,it's just really stupid and bland, the writing [i]really[/i] needed better care and work, i mean jeez! my [b][i]cat[/i][/b] could write better scenes! The casting is awful,don't even get me started.:rotten: |
| User ReviewBrent GLaughable teen slasher film about a young girl who anonymously calls older men she finds cute but doesn't realize that her latest crush is a serial killer. This tacky thriller makes all the usual mistakes of a bad horror film (illogical characters, no suspense, no scares) then also manages to drive home it's seriousness to a point that I was laughing at it. Add on top of that the disturbing direction of Gary Sherman, who focuses on a lot of older men in the film leering at the young protagonist and you have a failed horror film that you can't call enjoyable to poke holes at or to entertain but one thing it is though, is forgettable. |
