The Roomate!

The Plot:
Sara Matthews is a college freshman studying fashion design. She meets a couple of students, Tracy who is a party-lover,soon to be boyfriend Steven and her roommate Rebecca. To start off Rebecca is sweet and caring but eventually she's starts getting obsessed with Sara and things start going completely wrong.

When I first watched the movie,  I didn't expect it to be a thriller at first because the opening was just about Sara and Rebecca getting to know so I didn't really expect when Rebecca started attacking Sara's friends. The films that are similar to this movie are Obsessed, The Tourist, Homecoming and Red Riding Hood.

Rebecca Evans- She's a sweet, caring girl at first but when she gets attached to someone, she starts getting obsessed with them and will do anything to get closer to Sara.She's someone in a typical thriller movie because there is always someone who is the villain/attacker in a Thriller because they are the ones who create the drama.
Sara Matthews- She's a freshman starting at a new college studying fashion design. She plays the victim in this movie because she gets attacked by Rebecca and she also is the person she is obsessed with.
Tracy Morgan- She's another student at the college, who loves partying. She's another victim but she escapes from Rebecca but is left with scares from the attack.

Minka Kelly plays Sara Matthews, Leighton Meester plays Rebecca Evans and Aly Michalka plays Tracy Morgan. None of the main characters have worked in this genre before. And I think they have been picked for these roles because Leighton has that look that makes her look crazy and twisted whereas Minka has a pretty face which makes her look sweet and innocent.

The themes and values that I would expect in this film is a male lead, who is strong and looks after the victim. I would expect a victim as well and a killer who's goes around and attacks everyone. I would expect a creepy, isolated location, this is typical because most people can easily get attacked in isolated places.
