[edit] Plot
Allison 'Allie' Jones (Bridget Fonda) places an ad in the press for a 'Single White Female' like herself as a roommate.
Along comes a seemingly perfect roommate, Hedra 'Hedy' Carlson (Jennifer Jason Leigh). However, soon enough, things start to get weird. Hedra begins to mimic Allie's character and appearance (she cuts and dyes her hair to resemble her, and starts wearing her clothing) and even seduces and later kills Allie's boyfriend by striking him in the face with one of her stillettos which penetrates his brain through his eye socket and kills Allie's puppy by dropping it out of the window.
[edit] Trivia
- This film was #56 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
- Bridget Fonda's character is a computer programmer, and the computer she uses is an Outbound Laptop -- an early Macintosh clone.
