A landmark of pre-Prozac porn from director Richard Mahler who specialized in hard-to-describe surreal bleak art-XXX. This pathologically depressive and authentically Manhattan grimy opus opens at Lisa's funeral. Each mourner stands over her corpse and recalls their contribution to her destruction in a series of flashbacks. Lisa (Samantha Fox) is a hooker who hates everyone and everybody, most of all herself. She is lured into modeling for a hunky blonde photographer, but it's the photographer's backer who really has his eye on her. She gets into total dominatrix leather and degrades the fellow every which way. Later, Lisa meets Vanessa Del Rio, who introduces her to the drugs that lead to her death. As in many Samantha Fox vehicles, her real-life partner Bobby Astyr, joins the cast.
Two time Best Actress winner, Adult Film Association winner and Critics' Adult Film Award winner Samantha Fox shines in this superb adult film. A photographer invites a whore to pose for him, and treats her fair, but she will be the prey of degradation imposed on her by the owner of the adult magazine for whom the photographer works. Co-starring the dynamic and explosive cinema legend Vanessa Del Rio "Her Name Was Lisa" showcases superior performances from the entire cast - within a storyline of intrigue, deceit and incredible sexual emotion.
