Daniel N Bad teen drama. The sort of teeny bopper crap that my little sister would watch. Looked good from the trailer but the movie itself was terrible. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Roger S Pretty much a rip off of Single White Female 1992. Not worth the time. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Audience Member She ends up being the roommate of Rebecca Evans. The two quickly become close friends. However, Sara starts to become more obsessed with Sara. This starts with her threatening to kill Tracy (close friend of Rebecca ) unless she stays away from Rebecca. Tracey moved to another dorm in fear of Sara. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Ana B I shouted at the TV 90% of the time and was on the edge of my seat while watching it. I almost jumped, pulled my own hair and got extremely anxious while watching this. I saw some reviews saying they think this movie is boring but I think it's the extreme opposite! If you prefer to be scared of actual real common people instead of monsters, the undead or some weird talking doll, then this movie is for you. Maybe it's because I just started watching it mindlessly without knowing the title (it was playing on a random tv channel) and I didn't know it was a thriller, so it became way more interesting to watch because I couldn't tell the roommate was an important character until she started acting weird and I shouted at the television "she's a weirdo!" and "rude!" everytime she did something harmful. I became really anxious because I couldn't figure out her intentions towards the protagonist until later and I was always scared she'd harm somebody, all of the time. There are some thirst traps through the movie, to keep you interested I guess...? But considering it's a 2011 movie I guess it's okay. I usually don't really like any of that, but the lesbian flirting was actually pretty charming. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Ralph R The Roommate is a psychological thriller that starts with some promise but quickly slips into familiar territory. The setup is intriguing, with Leighton Meester delivering a solid performance that brings just enough edge to keep things mildly interesting. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't take any risks and sticks too closely to the formula, making the plot feel predictable and the suspense more muted than it should be. The pacing doesn't help either; the first half feels like it's dragging, and if you're not fully invested, you might find your attention wandering. Visually, the movie looks polished, and the college setting feels realistic, but the story lacks depth. While it's watchable, especially if you're just looking for a casual late-night movie, it doesn't do much to stand out in its genre. It's not a bad movie, it's just a forgettable one. If you're up for something light and don't mind a few thriller clichés, it might still be worth a shot. Otherwise, it's the kind of movie you'll struggle to stay awake through, literally. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Liam D An PG-13 horror movie so generic and dull that even Blumhouse would reject. Billy Zane (The New Batman Adventures, The Silence of the Hams) couldn’t save it with his awesome hammy acting Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
