Single White Female
1992
***
Director: Barbet Schroeder
Cast: Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bridget Fonda, Steven Weber, Peter Friedman

A slick, entertaining and believable (except for the protagonist's gigantic apartment) thriller about a young woman whose new roommate turns out to be a psychopath. Barbet Schroeder tightens the tension screw slowly and surely until he unleashes a typical over-the-top Hollywood finale. Based on John Lutz's novel Swf Seeks Same.
