The Roommate Reviews
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.
Pretty much a rip off of Single White Female 1992. Not worth the time.
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.
I shouted at the 온라인카지노추천 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.
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.
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
Very cool concept and I was very excited about the cast. But the writing and execution was very poor. The cast deserved more.
The Roommate ist ein Psychothriller des Regisseurs Christian E. Christiansen… Die niedliche Sara beginnt ihr erstes Semester an der Uni voller Vorfreude. Alles entwickelt sich bestens, ihre neue Mitbewohnerin Rebecca wird schnell zu ihrer besten Freundin… Das Drehbuch gleicht einem durchschnittlichen, spannungsgeladenen Nervenkitzel… ja ein langatmiger und vorhersehbarer Psychothriller ohne Schrecken… Kurz gesagt, drei Sterne…
This is anything but cool.
It was perfect, for me. Rebecca's condition is not bipolar, it's borderline pd.
This movie isn't even bad enough to be good. It is really just a far below par thriller desperately wishes it were different. Meester's performance has the feeling of a sports car in neutral.
"Murder can really ruin a friendship" While the movie doesn't have a high enough chill or thrill factor it's still got an alright plot, could be more creepy. Leighton Meester was great, loved seeing her in a different role than Blaire from Gossip Girl.
? If stars came in fourths, it would be a 1.75, mainly because it's only as good as 75% of the movies that I would normally rate a 2 in terms of horror. This is like a senseless hodgepodge of other movie plots and typical horror, takes mental health too lightly as well as misuses what potentially could have been a much better plot point, and made me get up for popcorn... TWICE. I wonder if the college whose building was on the movie poster sued the makers AFTER they saw the film... Not unwatchable, but not worth a trip to even the dollar theater.
Okay I need to start off by saying I'm not giving this movie a four star because I think it's a four star movie, I think it's more of a three, but I gave it a four because the reviews for this film are so low it makes me cringe. This is honestly one of my favourite movies. The acting is great and the story line is actually pretty good, there is very predictable scenes in this movie but I don't understand why someone would give this movie a one, like come on, there's movies out there that get an 80% on here and they straight up sucked. Moral of my comment is if you haven't seen this movie by now, take my word for it, it's not awful, it's pretty decent. Not a work of art, the ending is definitely predictable but again like I said, it's good, give it a try.
yeah was a good movie an all. but extremely more than f*cked up and made me absolutely hate the movie for the scene where rebecca locks and cooks the kitten in a dryer. could've simply gotten her to bring the cat to a shelter or let it go. they did not have to go to that extent. f*cked up.
This is a wannabe thriller or suspense movie that doesn't deliver. The ending is pretty much spoiled for you in the first 30min so you spend 1h knowing what is going to happen and the movie doesn't really build up effectively till it gets there so the climax doesn't work properly. The directors work is decent though acting is mostly mediocre. The best actor was Cam Gigandet that makes a clear effort to do his job right even with bad lines and a bad story to be a part of. It kind of reminds me of "Single White Female".
If you're looking for a run-of-the-mill, light-time thrill... this is it. It's good fun without trying to be Blockbuster fun.
Terrible horrible cringe boring fest of a movie. The only reason I wanted to see this movie is because the girl from Phil of the future was in this and she was barely in it. The girl from titans was in this and man she sucked. I don't recommend this movie at all. I know it's on Netflix but don't watch it.
A cringeworthy script without any scares. It has a talented cast who is completely waisted on a by the numbers story.
