The premise
Having recently split from her fiancé, Allison Jones welcomes new roommate Hedra Carlson. The young women quickly form a bond, but soon Allison begins to notice not all’s well with her new tenant.
Horror Vault's take
After a painful breakup, New Yorker Allison takes in a roommate to fill both her apartment and the emotional void — but Hedra's warm companionship masks something deeply, dangerously unstable. What begins as an unlikely female friendship gradually curdles into something suffocating as boundaries dissolve and Hedra's fixation on Allison's life grows impossible to ignore. This early-90s psychological thriller keeps its screws turning with slow-building dread, anchored by a memorably unnerving performance from Jennifer Jason Leigh.
