Sophia M "The Roommate" is a thriller that takes the premise of a psychotic stalker and sets it in a university environment. The film initially piques interest due to the resemblance between actresses Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester, a similarity that's accentuated by a series of genre clichés. This combination makes the audience want to see how the story will unfold. While reasonably entertaining, the film falls short due to its predictability and lack of originality. The plot lacks boldness, and the characters could have used more depth, resulting in a story that, in the end, feels a bit bland.

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 Read all reviews
