IMDb 4.8 Metacritic 23 RT 3%

Skip this one. With a 3% RT score and 4.8 IMDb rating, 'The Roommate' is a textbook example of a thriller that doesn't thrill—it's a derivative, poorly executed take on the obsessive roommate trope that even die-hard bad-movie fans will find tedious rather than entertaining.

Plot

When Sara, a young design student from Iowa, arrives for college in Los Angeles, she is eager to fit in and get to know the big city. Her wealthy roommate, Rebecca, is more than eager to take Sara under her wing and show her the ropes. The two become close, but when Sara begins to branch out and make more friends on campus, Rebecca becomes resentful. Alarmed, Sara moves in with her new boyfriend, causing Rebecca's behavior to take a violent turn.
