She's cute. She's loyal. She's psychotic. And, unfortunately for college freshman Sara (Minka Kelly) she's The Roommate. When Sara arrives at school, she finds new romance with Stephen (Cam Gigandet) and forms a fast friendship with her roommate Rebecca (Leighton Meester). What begins as camaraderie soon turns creepy, and Sara comes face-to-face with the terrifying realization that her new best friend is obsessive, unbalanced...and maybe even a killer!

Critics Consensus: Devoid of chills, thrills, or even cheap titillation, The Roommate isn't even bad enough to be good.

It's difficult to fathom what Screen Gems saw as potential.

Rotten

Instead of attempting to create a unique thriller, the filmmakers chose to make a typical one with bland characters and lackluster twists.

Rotten

it's hardly worth sticking around for the routine climax of this toothless thriller just to see the ocular sweets get all chewed up and mangled.

Rotten

One dry hump of almost thrills that are incredibly lackluster and void of any sort of suspense or tension.

Rotten

the direction of the film is fraught with problems, and one feels that the promising young cast deserved better than this.
