Featured review
I gave this movie a 4/10 score. The Story centers around Sara (Minka Kelly), a college student from Des Moines, who starts her freshman year at UCLA. She meets her roommate Rebecca (Leighton Meester), only to find out that she's not as nice as she seems...
That's about it. There is almost nothing more to add to the story. There are several "subplots" involving Sara's old and new friends, however these are about as uneven, unnecessary and uninspired as the rest of the movie. I felt pretty much nothing throughout the entire 90 minutes. It's not scary or suspenseful or moving at all. The dialog is about as dull as it gets, especially the cheesy lines between Sara and her new boyfriend Stephen (Cam Gigandet).
I never felt any kind of sympathy for any of the characters, so it pretty much did not matter to me, who lived and who died, which results in a 90 minute waste of time. The "fighting" scenes especially towards the end are beyond ridiculous and the "suspense" is created by a close-up shot of the character looking suspicious in a room without proper lighting.
The reasons why I still decided to give this one 4 out of 10 are that it's relatively easy to watch and does not demand a lot of attention, so I guess it might work for some people as a decent way to kill time if you lower your standard. Leighton Meester also has her moments, especially during her mood swings. It's a forgettable film, which does pretty much nothing to entertain you, but at least it's not too long and the (poor) story moves forward. It certainly doesn't hurt that the girls are easy on the eyes. I don't recommend watching this if you have any standards regarding suspenseful entertainment at all.
