Lisa (1990)

Directed by Gary Sherman, Lisa is the story of the eponymous character, a 14 year old precocious girl, who is prohibited by her over-protective mother from dating until she turns 16, and has a rather strange hobby. Lisa keeps a look-out for handsome men on the street, notes down their vehicle numbers, and then calls up DMV to track down their personal details, which she records in a large scrapbook. Her mother Katherine is open with Lisa on all matters, except boys and dating, and it turns out that she had Lisa when she was only 14 years. She is apprehensive that if she lets Lisa go on dates, her daughter might want to experience a lot of things which she is not emotionally capable of handling as yet.
Meanwhile, a charming restauranter, Richard, is killing beautiful, single women across the city by breaking into their apartments. He leaves a bizarre message on each victim's answering machine- "Hi, I am Richard, I am in your apartment, and I am going to kill you", which all victims hear before being attacked by Richard. The killer rapes these women before killing them, and leaves an elaborate array of candles in the crime scene, because of which he is dubbed as the "Candlelight Killer". It is also disclosed that Richard uses the same modus-operandi as Lisa, i.e., he first spots beautiful women, and after secretly writing down their car numbers, finds out their addresses. Then he sneaks into their apartments, and thereafter kills them, after they have heard his message.
Lisa bumps into Richard one night, when she is returning home carrying groceries, and Richard is just leaving a house after having murdered a woman. Lisa is fascinated by the handsomeness of Richard, and in the same manner as before, is able to find out his name, address and phone number. She then begins to stalk him, and even starts calling him up, in order to flirt with him. Richard is intrigued by these calls, and encourages Lisa to continue talking to him, since now he is the one who is getting stalked by a mysterious woman.
With Easter around the corner, Lisa makes plans with her best friend Wendy to leave for a weekend vacation. She and her mother decide to have an all-girls night out before Lisa leaves, thus Lisa calls up Richard and informs him that she would meet him that night, and that she would be dressed in a 'sexy white dress'. She then makes reservations in Richard's restaurant. In reality, Lisa has set up her mother, who is wearing the white dress, so that Richard may see his mother, and become her boyfriend. Lisa hopes that this way, her mother will loosen up and allow Lisa to start dating too.
Lisa leaves a love note to Richard, who then appears and notices Katherine. He copies her credit card details, and begins his preparations for killing her. Lisa remains oblivious to the danger that she has exposed Katherine to, and leaves with Wendy for the weekend. However, she talks to Richard, and he tells her that he knows where she resides, and her name is Katherine. Fearing that Richard would tell her mother about the calls, Lisa leaves a message for Katherine, stating that Richard was just an annoying kid from school, and that she should ignore him, if he called her. Soon after, Katherine receives she same message from Richard telling her that he would kill her, but based on Lisa's earlier message, she discards it as a prank.
However, Richard has already hidden himself in Lisa's room and when Katherine enters, he takes her hostage. Some time later, Lisa arrives home and starts looking for her mother. She too is attacked by Richard, and upon noticing the candlelight arrangements, she realises that Richard is none other than the dreaded "Candlelight Killer".
Richard knocks Katherine unconscious and drags Lisa to the room with the set candles, planning to kill her first before dealing with Katherine.Lisa is saved when her mother stabs Richard with a knife to his back, and later she sprays acid on his face, in the process disfiguring his face. In the final confrontation, Katherine strikes the killer several times on his head, and he loses his balance, and falls from an open window to a ditch below, dead from the fall.
The movie was made available on DVD first time in 2012 by MGM.
