The Roommate Review ~ Its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be

Once again a movie that is hated on Rotten Tomatoes is really not all that bad. The Roommate does have its flaws, but its a pretty entertaing thriller which will keep your interest until the end..

One thing that did disappointed however is that the Crazy Roomate never gets a backstory. It's never really fully explained why she is crazy or what her past was like, which is to bad.

The script in this movie is allright, but it does have those "Don't you see the warning signs?" moments where Sarah (our main character) always decides to stick with Rebecca her crazy room after a crazy event or something happens.

Another thing that shocked me is that the kill count is quite low to. Only one person dies in the whole film. Watching the trailer I thought like 5 people die, but this doesn't really impact the film all to much.

The tension scenes are pretty well done, their predictable, but not always to predictable. If your expecting a horror film, well you won't find it here. But the Roommate does offer a good time at the movies and may fill your horror gut until a real horror movie arrives.
