Review: I Admit Ive Seen A Lot Worse, But This Movie Was Very Bad, It's Sick, Depresing, Disturbing, And Just Plain Stupid, With Very Wooden Performances And Predicible Endings. Although There's One Funny Scene Where Fonda Is With That Bald Guy (Steven, I Think), And She Slams Him In The Crotch When Steven Tries To Put The Moves On Her, I Laughed A Little, Then I Relized What I Watching And Went Back To SleepDon't Make The Same Mistake I Did, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE !

Summary: This movie is very horrifying, but with a good character!
Review: I recently saw this movie on television and I think this was in fact a THRILLER! Bridget Fonda gives her great performance as Allie who is desperately looking for a room-mate. Then, a shy girl named Hedra (Jennifer Jason Leigh) was the one who moved into Allie's apartment. Little did Allie know is that Hedra might be dangerous. This is a very horrifying THRILLER because there is one scene with Jennifer Jason Leigh bathing and another scene in which she is masturbating in bed. It's a very horrifying film mixed with a little bit of erotic, but this might be a popular choice for anyone who has seen this movie. It is a must have for every filmgoer.

Summary: Shocking!
Review: If you're looking for a truly creepy thriller than look no further than this one, containing flawless acting by actresses Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh. For those reviewers who say the film is let down by the final half hour I have to say: pah! That's the best part! The half hour climax where Ally (Bridget Fonda) desperately fights off a now totally psychopathic Hedra (Jennifer Jason Leigh) makes the film in my eyes. The basic film premise is this: Ally�s live-in boyfriend cheats on her and is shown the door, not used to living alone, Ally advertises for a room mate, enter Hedra, a shy quiet librarian. The two become friends but Hedra�s envy and awe of her new best friend�s style and beauty leads her to begin to emulate her and become her twin (the reason for her obsession is revealed in full in the film but I won�t spoil it for those who might want to see the film). When Ally makes peace with her boyfriend and wants him to move back into the apartment, Hedra grows jealous and incredibly vindictive at being asked to move out and begins to become obsessive, culminating in her offing a few characters (including one hapless soul having a stiletto stabbed through his eye in a very original and memorable murder scene). The final battle between the two ladies is nothing short of gripping, and the scenes incredibly convincing as they wrestle, shoot and stab their way through the apartment complex in an edge of your seat fight for survival finally ending down in the creepy shadowy basement in the belly of the building. A slew of these type of psychological thrillers followed after the success of this film (The Crush, Deadbolt, The Babysitter, Mother�s Boys, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle etc) but none besides the latter of course being up to SWF�s standard. High points of the film include the creepy somewhat infamous scene where Hedra emerges from the hairdressers, her hair cut from long and dark to short and auburn in an exact imitation of Ally�s, and Hedra�s violent disposal of a newly bought puppy that won�t come to her. The film was adapted from an average novel titled �SWF Seeks Same� but in it�s adaptation to the big screen became a very stylish thriller. A hit at the box office when released it is well worth seeing and is a guaranteed tense and nail biting viewing experience for any fans of a good thriller. Five stars.

Summary: Three's Company revisited!
Review: It's amazing and outrageous to watch Jennifer Jason Lee simply steal not a scene or two, but a complete film. The woman's a force to be reckoned with, her performance unequalled by many. This film has her working like a chameleon, blending in with her surroundings, yet slowly begins to show her true colors of mental disturbance and derangement. Intense, intelligent & suspenseful.

Summary: Shocking!
Review: Jenninfer Jason Leigh is totally out of control while Bridget Fonda fears for her life in this psychological thriller. Allie Jones (Fonda) puts an ad in the newspaper for a room mate wanted, a single white female. She quickly gets a response from Hendra Carlson (Leigh) and has Allie convinced. She moves in and seems like the perfect room mate. But Allie begins to notice some of her belongings missing and Hendra's style and personality changing. Before long, Hendra's obsession with Allie's life proves it's self when Hendra gets a complete make over and looks exactly like Allie. This is where the terror and violence begins. This movie is somewhat similar to the Lifetime Network thriller "Total Stranger" about a lonley woman that offers a room in her home for rent. She allows a pleasent college girl to move in and she turns out to be a violent schizophrenic and takes over the woman's home and terrorizes her. This movie was just as good.

Summary: Phenomenal Performances
Review: Okay, I'll be honest; perhaps the movie itself (especially the last half hour's plot) deserves only 4 stars. However, Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh both more than makes up whatever shortcomings the plot presents. Most of this movie is a smart, entertaining, and gripping thriller. Bridget Fonda, as usual, gives an strong performance. However, it's Jennifer Jason Leigh's wickedly brilliant performance that makes the movie. She plays the psychotic seductress role so well that the male audience is terrified and turned on at the same time. One can't help but think a star is born; too bad Leigh didn't seem to have gotten the credit she deserves for this breakthrough performance. All in all, this is a pretty damn good movie.

Summary: Beware of strangers
Review: Overall, a suspenseful movie despite some slasher scenes towards the end. I wasn't familiar with Fonda & Leight when I first saw this so the actresses did not have any influence on my rating of the movie. Another reviewer once mentioned that you would either treat this movie as a suspense centering on a girl's psychological problem or a typical slasher film. After having seen it for myself, its fair to say that its overall delivery is satisfactory & deserves a better opinion.
