Single White Female 2: The Psycho

i don't know what to think of this movie.i mean,it's definitely trashy,and more soft core porn than thriller.there's some pretty bad hairdo's in this one.and there the pretty people,and i mean that in a sarcastic way.the two friends/co workers were supposed to be hot,i guess,but they really just seemed plastic.the only woman in the movie i found attractive was Alison Lange because she wasn't all prettied up.she has natural beauty to her.anyway,that's beside the point.back to the movie.there aren't really any sympathetic characters.they all get what they deserve,especially for being as stupid as they all are.having said that,i actually thought this was a fun movie,watching the bad acting,and the main characters continually trying to screw each other over.if you ask me,they're all nuts.and then there's Todd Babcock doing his best Julian McMahon impersonation.all in all it was trash,but it was amusing trash,i'll give it that.my vote for single White female 2:The Psycho is a 5/10

When I saw the original SWF, way back when, I was upset when it was over because I wanted more. This is it.

Single White Female 2: The Psycho cleverly apply's new twists on an old formula. It strays just enough from the original to make itself its own, while borrowing the proper elements from the first film to remind you of the first film.

I love these direct-to-DVD sequels, smaller budget, unknown actors and actresses, bottom line no ego. Everybody just trying to make the best flick they can.

I also really liked Wild Things 2 and 3.

And Ladies, These films are guilty pleasures made for men. It's like soft core with less core and more story. The sooner you understand that the sooner you can pass over them in the store, and stop whining about how misogynistic and degrading these films are. Or if your not a crazy SWF yourself you can pick it up at the video store and watch it with your man.

Bottomline, if you like the first one, see this.

First off, I just want to say, the directing of this movie was absolutely agitating! I literally wanted to scream my head off! I did not understand how they made Tess obsess over this one woman who she hadn't even known very long. In the 1992 film, the story had scenes in which you could see their friendship progressing in a timely manner that made sense. But in this 2005 film, everything was rushed along awfully. The beginning, the middle, and the end were terrible! Certain scenes made no sense whatsoever. All of their acting was pathetic. The movie was much too obvious on what they were leading into. This movie was lacking everything! I couldn't really feel the characters that the actors and actresses were portraying as, they just didn't bring there all, and if they did, then they need better acting lessons! And Todd Babcock, oh don't get me started on him! He seems really quite conceded! He tried to look too "good" or "handsome". He did not act out his role well, as did not the other actors and actresses. Whoever wrote and directed Single White Female 2: the psycho, should get banned from making another movie! Sorry to say, but it was CRAPPY and a waste of time to make! I give 2 thumbs up to Part 1 of Single White Female. Both thumbs down to this junk!

Holly Parker (Kristen Miller) and Jan Lambert (Brooke Burns) are roommates battling over job and boyfriend. Holly moves out to a new place and takes on Tess Kositch (Allison Lange) as her new roommate.

There is nothing surprising going on in this script. Like the original, a woman is being harassed by her roommate. Whereas the original hits on some new paranoia, this is simply a repeat without much effort. The two actresses are both relative unknown and it shows here. They don't have much screen presence. I don't find either that compelling. The budget and style is limited. The only worthwhile performance is Brooke Burns who plays a pretty good bitch. Overall, this is a functional watch but forgettable. It adds nothing new to its predecessor.

What the hell is up with that title? Was Hedy in the first film the epitome of sanity?? Getting past the redundant title and the title sequence which look like they were written using post-it notes, you find a movie exactly like the first one. Wait no strike that, that one has Skinamax caliber acting, a surprising total lack of nudity (save for one body double and a few extras in a S&M club), and a disjointed and uninvolving plot (hey it IS like the original in that way). This movie (and I use that term loosely) was so bad that I half expected Mark Blankfield to show up in a role. OK, maybe not THAT bad, but very awful none the less.

My Grade: D-
