Product Description:

Amazon.com:
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

The Bottom Line:
A standard, paint-by-numbers "________ from Hell" film whose blank is filled by "roommate" this time, Single White Female features the occasional creepy moment and a good performance by Jennifer Jason Leigh but five minutes into the film you can pretty much figure out the entire movie's trajectory; don't make time for this middling movie.
2.5/4

"Single White Female" is one of the best psycholgical suspense thrillers. Debuting in theatres in 1992, the film hasn't really aged much, except for the hairstyles and clothes. The story is still prevailent today as the message here is clear: make sure you check out your roomate's past before having them live with you.

Here's another film I really enjoyed on the first viewing but lost its impact on subsequent viewings.
This interesting story was quite a topic of conversation when it came out 17 years ago. By now, it's probably considered fairly tame, and nothing that shocking or special. Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh star with Leigh getting the juicier role as the wacko, "Hedy Carlson." Character studies of people like her are usually entertaining. Leigh has made a career of playing totally ... Read More

Let me tell you, this movie is a classic. I actually saw this movie a while ago and it always stuck in my head for no reason. I met a girl who was odd at first but she befriended me and I felt that she was kinda nice yet I knew there was something about her. Just. Something. I didn't know at the time of course because you can never foresee what life brings you. She started coming around more often and telling me her daily activities and what not. Till I started going out with her as a friend. Mind you ... Read More
