uhh pretty sure this is landlord propaganda about what will happen to you if you bring a new occupant into your apartment who is not on your lease
noraMay 3, 2023It doesn’t have my beloved “reading old microfiche at the library” scene but it DOES have another classic, the “looking through the box of old photos and newspaper clippings to discover someone’s twisted backstory” scene

Kinda gay if you ask me
Ultimo_Joe likedSingle White FemalePretty good, genuinely features lots of great scares and twists etc for such an un-recognised horror film (in the sense that although it’s iconic, it wouldn’t be on par with Friday 13th or anything). Fantastic acting and very creepy aesthetic.
Sophie likedSingle White Femaleso eerie! nothing goes right for Allie, & then you add up the crazy roomie & omg. Heather gets progressively more insane, till the point you're shocked at her audacity. it's a really good movie.
- Eye Cinc likedSingle White Female
It doesn’t aged very well, it’s ok, but I remembered much better. It’s interesting and stressful the craziness of the roommate
Louisvuitton lovedSingle White FemaleI already suspected her in the beginning! I like the subtle hints that her roommate had obvious issues. Really good movie!
Jacob Hall lovedSingle White FemaleSo much symbolism. A cinephile's dream. Why this isn't loved as much as Fatal Attraction? I have no idea.

Metacritic
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.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Don Roos's script for Single White Female, from the 1990 potboiler SWF Seeks Same, by John Lutz, is as empty as a hack's head. Schroeder goes through the motions — the movie is elegantly made — but this synthetic Hollywood package panders shamelessly to the baser instincts.
