twisted Gothic horror

"Lisa,Lisa" AKA "Axe" is a weird film to say the least.it a suspense thriller,guess.i think it's more a Gothic horror than any hing.it's not really terrifying,but there are a few images that will likely stick with you for awhile.this is really a minimalist film.there are only 5 main actors for the bulk of the movie and most of the movie takes place in one location.the budget is really low for this one,and for some reason, i find really fake looking blood more disturbing than if it's more realistic.i find it sicker,foe whatever reason.anyway,the movie,besides being a Gothic horror,is also very psychological.it's almost a character study of one girl,"Lisa""(Leslie Lee) and her inner demons.she is much more scary than the bad guys in the movie.Leslie Lee gives a very effective performance.the movie is not that long,but it is ponderously slow at times,where it seems very little is happening.this movie is not for those who like a lot happening in their movies.if you don't have a lot of patience,avoid this movie.i found it interesting,though very twisted.For me "Lisa,Lisa" is a 6/10

Trivia
Leslie Lee had done some modeling prior to playing her sole lead role as Lisa. Lee declined an offer to be interviewed for the release of this movie by Severin Films in both the DVD and Blu-ray formats.

Goofs
When Lomax is making holes in clothes with his cigar, the amount of holes, his position and position of the clothes is not synchronized between shots.

Quotes
Steele: Lomax, why don't you get me a glass of water.
[pause]
Steele: Then drink it yourself, it'll give you somethin' to do.

Alternate versions
For its original UK cinema release (as "California Axe Massacre") cuts were made to a razor slashing during a rape scene, the beating of Aubrey, and heavy edits to the infamous scene where the salesgirl is shot at and splashed with ketchup, and the film later found itself on the official DPP list of video nasties in the 80s. It was eventually issued on the Exploited video label, under its cinema title, in 1999 but received 19 secs of cuts to the previous razor slashing scene. The BBFC said they would have passed it uncut but previous illegal distribution of the uncut version led to a prosecution under the obscene publications act (the same reason The House by the Cemetery (1981) and Blood Feast (1963) were slightly cut). The cuts were fully waived for the 2005 ILC release and the film reverted to its original title of "Axe".
