Axe

Lisa, Lisa (Frederick R. Friedel - 1977)

It’s a “rape and revenge”-type of film made a few years after The Last House on the Left (1972) but before Day of the Woman/ I Spit on Your Grave (1978) and House on the Edge of the Park. The unlikely heroine, a little girl, resembles Camille Keaton expressionless and merciless avenger in Day of the Woman.

I viewed a British release from 4Digital Media. It has some digital noise and was inferior to the Something Weird Video Special Edition. The SWV release also has a lot of extras. What possessed me to obtain two versions of this particular feature? I couldn’t say myself, but this little roughie has its virtues. The scenery has something lifeless and desolate that is quite intriguing.
