Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
catfish-er SINGLE WHITE FEMALE 2: THE PSYCHO is definitely cast out of the same mold as the original. The first movie was very well done, well acted, well directed, and a great plot.While the plot for the second is similar, I really liked the way everything was neatly tied up at the end. I have a hard time deciding whether the first or second is better.The first movie was very original; but, I liked the back-story and story line of the second better. I also liked the acting in the second better; albeit it is hard to top Bridget Fonda. I think the sequel had more suspense; and, the soundtrack really propelled things along well.I am really a fan of old, b-grade horror, so seeing a low-budget, modern sequel that is driven by story and character, without relying on computer-generated effects is really more to my liking!
Enchorde Recap: Two career-minded young and successful women, Holly and Jan, live together but compete for everything. The promotion at the job and even more importantly perhaps, boyfriends. No rules apply and Holly flees the apartment after Jan tricked her out of town during a important business meeting and then seduced Holly's new boyfriend. Holly moves in with Tess, a vulnerable young woman that soon take a liking to Holly. Too much perhaps, because soon Tess copies Holly clothes, hair color and starts appearing at her job. All the while Tess tries to force Holly to break with her former friend Tess seem more and more manipulative.Comments: A rather poor attempt to make a psychological thriller. Unfortunately it seems they forgot to bring the psychological element and seem content that the audience will keep watching just because all the leads are young and beautiful actresses. It doesn't work.To add a psychological level to any movie you need suspense to go with some really well written and developed characters. Relationships need to be given time to be established and to evolve slowly, to seem really plausible. This movie gives the opposite. There is no depth to the characters. Each and every one of the three leads are shallow, manipulative egoistic and it is hard to sympathize even with the heroine. Neither of them is very friendly, even to their good friends. Also the relationships develop without cause or explanation, it looks more like temporary alliances and feuds that start and end with a single word.The story is also predictable on a level that even the heroine should see what is happening. It annoys me that she suddenly trusts her new roommate (Tess), whom she has known all of a few days, more than old friends when Tess accuses them of having tried to take advantage of her. Why would she do that if she had any real connection with any other person? No, this movie doesn't work, at all. Sure, I can see that the women are beautiful, but that doesn't make a movie. And it is far too little when you try to build something deep and intriguing out of thin air.3/10
Hyden 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!
Dee-man I'm not exactly sure of the reasoning behind the subtitle "The Psycho"...a tad unnecessary if you ask me. Then again, so is the whole movie.This "sequel" takes place in the big busy city where two roommates/business partners eventually clash, forcing one to move out and (if you didn't see this coming like a freight train) into the apartment of a lonely quiet girl who turns out to be an obsessive nut case (with an appreciation for S&M...hmm). This movie is pretty much the same as the original, save for some different plot twists and turns here and there that lead up to what might be the most boring climax in movie history, taking place in an apartment building hallway. What fun.I agree with what one person said about the "psycho's" wig in the first part of the movie being terrible, but what was worse was the wretched black bob wig worn by the main character's ex-roommate in an attempt to make her look sexy and exotic...needless to say, if Drew Barrymoore's character in SCREAM had an evil twin, she would look like this...
