    Another Roommate from Hell In New York City, two PR colleagues (Kristen Miller & Brooke Burns) compete for a promotion in their agency when one of them (Miller) decides to move out of the apartment they share and respond to an ad for a roommate from a woman that’s not in their social class (Allison Lange). At least one of these women is a… psycho. Todd Babcock plays the beau. "Single White Female 2: The Psycho" (2005) is a stand-alone sequel to the 1992 film and is far from a carbon copy. Being direct-to-video, it has a no-name cast and lacks the sense of artistry of the original, but Kristen Miller makes for a quality protagonist while Burns is perfect in the biyatch role and Lange is effective as the misfit. It helps that the plot mixes up the formula and the setting isn’t as one-dimensional as in the original where practically the entire story took place in an aged Gothic apartment building. It also has more pizazz and isn’t as tediously monotone. Unfortunately, it’s not as memorable. It’s effective enough for the genre & direct-to-video, but also kind of forgettable. More coulda and shoulda been done with the resource of Kristen Miller. The film runs 1 hour, 30 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles, California. GRADE: C+
