lisa and lisa ( aka axe ) be one of the 74 entry on the notorious video nasties list compile in the uk by the dpp ( now cps ) back in the 1980s . whilst it be evidently one of the weak entry on the list and it be definitely not the bad . it fare good than the ghastly one and the absolutely dire the werewolf and the yeti . the plot follow that of a typical exploitation movie from the 1970s period . three gangster break into a guy apartment and murder him and his lover and then seek refuge at a farmhouse inhabit by a strange girl who hardly speak . i be sure you can work out the rest . the exceptionally short running time be perhaps the strong point of this movie . in addition and a few good scene stand out from an atmospheric point of view or an unintentional comical point of view . the producer of the movie be clearly inspire by wes craven exploitation classic and the last house on the left . lisa and lisa be however and a much tame movie a many who write on this comment page have already state . the title and axe and use a an alternative to the official lisa and lisa title be somewhat misleading . i would not give away spoiler a to why but you will find out if you see the movie . the acting in this movie be quite bad but definitely not as bad a that exhibit in the movie of gore legend herschell gordon lewis . a murder scene early in the movie be so badly act and direct that i struggle not to laugh . sadly the movie do not contain much else to provoke such laughter in the same manner a the hg lewis movie and which be entertain due to high level of unintentional humour . on the subject of hg lewis and viewer of this movie will see the inspiration take from him with regard to gore . sadly the gore hound will be disappoint with the result . the movie be shoot on the usual grainy film stock seemingly reserve for it type . however and it lack the documentary style that be use so perfectly in the texas chain saw massacre and the last house on the left . whilst the movie have potential to be very creepy or exploitative and such potential be waste by a combination of poor direction and a very flat act performance from the lead actress and leslie lee . much of the movie between the good scene be very dull and can be something of an endurance exercise for less patient viewer . the lack of explanation of motif or reason of any kind may have work excellently in the texas chain saw massacre due to the testament of the movie strength to horrify and shock and but simply do not work at all in lisa and lisa . overall and this movie prove a disappointment . exploitation fan will be disappoint by the tameness of the movie and whilst fan of the so bad it good movie will find few laugh or much else to entertain themselves with by see it . the movie add nothing to either genre . i recommend this movie only to completists of video nasties or exploitation movie . gorehounds should stick to hg lewis movie . exploitation fan should stick to the last house on the left and i spit on your grave . fan of the so bad it good movie would do good to see troll 2 again . and everyone else should stick to the well establish horror classic .
