Editorial Review:
You can take this 1992 thriller one of two ways: it's either a highly suspenseful movie about an unfortunate young woman's psychological breakdown, or it's a glossy slasher movie starring two of Hollywood's best young actresses. Or maybe it's both at the same time--or perhaps it's the clever and well-acted thriller for its first hour before resorting to the routine shocks of a cheap horror flick. However you look at it, there's no denying that this is a dynamite showcase for Jennifer Jason Leigh as the roommate from hell who becomes the bane of Bridget Fonda's existence. First she picks up Fonda's mannerisms, then starts to borrow her wardrobe, cuts her hair to resemble Fonda's, and even "borrows" her roomie's boyfriend for a deceitful night of lovemaking. By that point Fonda's totally freaking out (wouldn't you?), and, well, that's when the whole thing gets a little too silly. Still, this is a nifty little shocker, and director Barbet Schroeder brings more intelligence and style to the material than it really deserves. Add that to the fine performances by the battling roommates and you've got a movie that will make you think twice before inviting total strangers to live with you. --Jeff Shannon

Single White Female [Region 2] Reviews:
Double trouble.
2008-07-16 - Single White Female starring Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh is one creepy film. The two stars are incredible but the plot is a little too intense for me. Leigh has never played such a psycho before, she nails it! Fonda to me has always been an under-rated actress, she's amazing! Steven Weber is the most annoying thing in this film, he's so lame! This is a good movie to buy if you like suspense, enjoy!

Good late night movie
2008-02-11 - Believe it or not, I'd never seen this movie before. I caught the title on cable over the weekend, and quite honestly, just going by the title, I thought it was a light, romantic comedy ala 'Sleepless in Seattle' or something! Needless to say, I was a bit surprised as the plot unfolded and no lighthearted hijinks ensued! Once I got over my expectations, and accepted that this was in fact a semi-horror film, I was okay, but it took some time to adjust my brain to that concept.

That being said, Bridget Fonda does a good job as vulnerable little Allie, which makes the story believable. Of course she believes Hedy's story and finds it difficult to accept the lies once they become apparent. That's the kind of person she is and by the time she's wise to Hedy, it's almost too late. I also liked the switched identity angle. Jennifer Jason Leigh really pulls this off well.

Not bad.



She need a room mate
2008-02-05 - Sam betayed her, She finds Hedra. She is out for murder, Ally wished she never met her.

No Hint of Talent in a Baseless Depiction of Reality by Paranoid Men
2008-01-13 - This film was poorly executed based on a mediocre screenplay. This 1992 low budget B movie portrayed a shallow concept with a heartless plan to unfairly depict single females as psycho who have affection for one another while making men out to be deeply caring and misunderstood angelics. This film is a paranoid man's fantasy and take on reality. Someone recommended this to me based on my believing the film Pacific Heights to be a good roommate horror flick. It wasn't anywhere near the quality production of PH, not by a long shot. I regret purchasing this DVD. It was a total waste of money that I would have preferred to donate to the ASPCA. People who think this is a good movie like nudity, S&M, bondage, blood, gore, sex and ugly women with strange haircuts.

The Price is Right
2007-12-27 - I love those 80s movies. They want you to think movies are real, just like wrestling. They cater to humorless families. It was sitting there for months, new for 99 cents; I'm like the only legitimate business they get. The plot is a girl moves into an apartment and gets another girl roomate who plays mind games with her. I saw this when it first came out and I wanted to see it again without the embarassment of renting it or having my mom walk in. There is violence, language and 3 scenes of brief nudity. I liked it, not it's nothing special. Worth seeing twice.
