The Roommate: An Insipid Attempt to Modernize the Story of Obesession


Rating:
*1/2
By: Da’Mon Guy

     The Roommate is an insipid, lifeless debacle that makes a ridiculously futile attempt to recreate the often told story of obsession. This latest version of the story reduces it to a thoughtless, feminine focused melodrama as it moves it to a college campus. This miserable depravity stars Leighton Meester (Country Strong), Minka Kelly (Just Go With It), Cam Gigandet (Easy A), Alyson Michalka (Easy A), Danneel Ackles (The Back-Up Plan) and Billy Zane (Sniper: Reloaded).

    
     The Roommate is a lackluster, sappy absurdity that attempts to combine elements of horror and suspense as it tries to acclimate a new generation of movie lovers to the story of obsession. This new iteration lacks any real thrills or chills as the movie is an extremely humdrum experience that is barely worthy of viewing....
