    1.0 out of 5 stars Shockingly bad. Really.

    The high reviews are clearly from people involved with the making of this. This is the worst, most mind numbingly vacuous piece of no-budget film making I have ever seen, and that's saying something. Think of the worst movie you ever saw. This is worse. It's a joke, it has to be. It's two girls having an argument, and that's all. No plot twists, no story, no substance, no atmosphere, terrible writing, terrible screenplay, terrible directing. Don't waste your time.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A genuine surprise
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2017
    I have to say that I walked into 'The Lodger', aka 'Roomate Wanted' with pretty low expectations. This 2015 straight-to-DVD thriller was something I picked up purely through desperation for something to watch. I have to say that I surprised, and enjoyed every minute for it.

    The film centres around two seemingly very different blonde-haired room-mates, Janie (Alexa PenaVega) and Dee (Spencer Grammer). The former is a reserved, ambitious student, dreaming of a better life, and considers herself up a step or two in comparison to the latter, a much looser woman who enjoys drinking, taking drugs, and sleeping with lots of men. When Janie is offered a great opportunity of work, Dee becomes jealous, and sets out to cause problems for her. In the space of day these ladies make the other one's life hell, leading up to a blood bath, and a shock ending which I didn't see coming.

    The initial bitching between these two girls, both of whom are well portrayed, is wonderful, and the petty things that they do each other made me chuckle. Anyone who has ever had a lodger, or even just a work colleague or fellow student that they forced to bond with be able to relate to the hatred that they have for each other. The great thing about 'The Lodger' is that things then things gradually turn around, and we realise that these girls aren't so black and white after all, and nor are the reasons for their feud.

    With steady character development, deliciously bitchy antics, and a little bit of violence, I found it all very entertaining, and a genuine surprise. This isn't just one for the ladies, and makes a good popcorn film with a few drinks. It's not as scary as the DVD's cover would suggest, but things do get rather tense.

    The DVD contains no special features, or the option of subtitles for the hard of hearing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars SET TO BE A CULT CLASSIC.....STUNNING!!!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2016
    I was lucky I was able to see this at a recent festival in the US & it really caught by surprise. From a young and up-coming director, whose definitely one to watch out for.
    Starts with a scene of the two central characters (played superbly by Alexa PenaVega & Spencer Grammer) fighting for their lives against each other, then takes you back to how they got to this desperate state.
    The film starts relatively calm, with the two girls, who live with each other, not exactly best friends but getting along. Then throughout the film the tension builds & builds till one fateful day when their hate for each other simply explodes across the screen.
    The acting is excellent, from all the cast but particularly the two central women & as mentioned watch out for this director as he is surely a star in the making.
    Highly Recommended Five Stars
