The Roommate, Review?!

Thriller, drama and horror movies have become a fascination amongst all age groups in society. From the very first being in silent film, such as The Phantom of the Opera or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Except in all honesty, the past few years, any type of thriller or horror, even drama have been very doubtful to me. Though the media reels you in with a very well put together trailer, with promising action, sex and gore scenes. It's that moment that you are sitting in the comfy big red seat, popcorn in one arm and a large drink in the other. You find yourself very displeased. 

So, this past Saturday I was having a girl's night with two very good friends of mine. Victoria and Dora. We had the night planned, dinner and a movie. Well, our luck at AppleBee's was cut short when we viewed an overly packed waiting area. But don't fear! Bob Evan's was very near. After a yummy meal and laughs, we'd set off to The Legends 14 Movie Theater. 

Now the concept of The Roommate is this. College student Sara ( Minka Kelly ) finds that her new roommate Rebecca ( Leighton Meester ) has an obsession with her, which quickly turns violent. A good plot, right? Well of course what I was expecting to see, wasn't really what I got to see. The movie was filled with well known actors and actresses from shows like The Vampire Diaries, HellCats, 90210; also appearing with actors like Billy Zane and the yummy Cam Gigandet. Now I am not one to likes to give away the endings to movies or anything specific. 

Yet some insiders but no spoilers. You will most likely get chills running down your back, making you 
scared shitless about having a roommate when you leave for college. So ask questions & do a possible background check.
Just sayin'.

So honestly, the actors were great. Plot was alright. Just not a box office hit in Schuyler's world. 
It's now up to you, waste money at movies? Or get it at your local McDonald's RedBox later?

( By the way, excuse the messy paragraphs. My blogger is being a douche right now )
