The film is smooth, entertaining and believably sophisticated. It has far more sound psychological underpinnings than other movies of its type.

Girl gets psycho roommate, wacky mayhem ensues. It's like Fatal Attraction, only it sucks.
01/09/03
Laughably bad thriller.
12/01/02
Proof that sensationalism, sex and violence can be boring.

suitably chilling and convincingly played by Fonda and Jason Leigh

Schroeder goes through the motions -- the movie is elegantly made -- but this synthetic Hollywood package panders shamelessly to the baser instincts.

Top CriticAll of this escalates in its level of ridiculousness until there are unintentional laughs attending a new use for stiletto heels and a chase through Fonda's tenement building, which never seems to have any tenants in sight.
01/01/00
You watch this thing coolly intrigued and sometimes amused, rather than terrified and taken in -- even when the stabbing raises its bloody, predictable hand.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe tension between its content and its trashy form is precisely the key to its vitality. If it were any less cheap, it wouldn't have the same edgy, gut-twisting jolt.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's a familiar generic piece that's graced with stylish amounts of intelligence, sly humor and visual wit.
01/01/00
This is a story which, in other hands, could have simply been an all-female slasher movie, but Barbet Schroeder, who produced and directed it, has a mordant humor that pushes the material over the top. It is a slasher movie, and a little more.
