2,000 Colleges, 8 Million Roommates. Which One Will You Get?The Roommate (2011) is a thriller movie.
Synopsis: ULA freshmen, Sara (Minka Kelly) and Rebecca (Leighton Meester) are roommates. Both become good friends but what Sara doesn't realize is that Rebecca is quickly becomes obsessed with her.
Rebecca despises Sara's other friends, including fellow dorm mate, Tracy (Alyson Michalka) and Sara's new boyfriend, Stephen (Cam Gigandet). Rebecca wants Sara all to herself and soon, her obsession turns really creepy and dangerous, even murderous.
This movie receives negative remarks in general. To be honest, I agree with them. There's absolutely nothing new or original in this movie. From the very beginning, you're already aware who's the "bad girl" and who are the victims. Every pace is predictable and not exactly exciting.
The saving grace comes at the last 15 minutes of the movie - the struggling scene between Sara and Rebecca. That's when you can see some blood and action.
Well, this is just a decent not-so-thrilling thriller. I'd say it's good enough just to watch it on DVD.
