There is even a refrigerator in their bedroom?

■The 76th movie this year, the thriller drama "The Roommate (Roommate)" (United States/2011) is finished. The film tells a frightening story between the American freshman Sarah and her roommate Rebecca from friend to enemy . The female "mutual tearing" theme of the film is actually quite interesting. First of all, this mainly comes from the super attractive appearance of the two female protagonists of the film, Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly, and the director will have a very strong possession. The lustful rich girl and a lively, cheerful and extroverted girl "evil" arranged in the same dormitory, and the transformation of "hate because of love" also quietly happened with the changes in various personnel around Sara. Sara’s ex-boyfriend, current boyfriend, teacher, friend, classmate, and even a poor kitten have all become Rebecca’s “alien” targets that Rebecca is so jealous of and must eradicate. Eventually, the incident escalates. The trend can also be imagined, and it will naturally be a face-to-face fight between the two girls. The overall look and feel of the film is dull and blunt, and the horror passages have not achieved the expected results. Although the starring is indeed eye-catching, the plot and shooting methods are really nothing new. This kind of story of college girls pinching each other is difficult to play on the idea. With more tricks, the quality of the film is really as popular and uninteresting as expected. [Score: 5 points/10 points]
