Single White Female at Revival House Perth
Experience one of the 90s' most chilling psychological thrillers! Bridget Fonda stars as Allie Jones, a software designer who places a roommate ad after discovering her boyfriend's infidelity. Enter Hedra Carlson (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a seemingly sweet and shy woman who appears to be the perfect flatmate for Allie's spacious New York apartment.
But what begins as a convenient living arrangement slowly transforms into a nightmare of obsession and identity theft. As Hedra becomes increasingly possessive and begins mimicking Allie's appearance, mannerisms, and life choices, the line between roommate and stalker dissolves into pure terror.
Director Barbet Schroeder crafts a masterclass in escalating tension, while Leigh delivers a genuinely unsettling performance that makes Hedra both pitiable and terrifying. The film taps into primal fears about trust, intimacy, and the strangers we let into our lives, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere that builds to a shocking climax.
This influential thriller helped define the "roommate from hell" subgenre and remains a gripping exploration of female relationships, dependency, and the dangers of losing yourself in someone else's life.
Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
