I just saw "The Roommate" with my best friend, who is not into scary movies at all. Myself being a Gossip Girl and scary movie buff absolutely had to see this movie.
Although this film was not necessarily scary, it was quite... disturbing. Disturbing in the sense that this movie was realistic. Leighton Meester was effective as a stalker obsessed friend from hell, and would have even freaked out Jennifer Jason Leigh. "The Roommate" was not gory, or very sexual, but had enough cringes and off putting parts to make you say "ooooh!" out loud.
my only real issue is most of the best scenes were shown in the trailer, and that by the end i felt sympathetic for Rebecca.
all in all "The Roommate" is "Single White Female" for teens, and is a great PG-13 thriller.
