[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 259232, member: 23"] [CENTER][B][I]Room For Rent[/I][/B] (2019) [MEDIA=youtube]jKrZLGXiYMQ[/MEDIA] Imagine Lilimae and Chip featuring in their own spin-off film with the story taken to extremes in the style of [I]Fatal Attraction [/I]and [I]Single White Female [/I]but playing on The Hallmark Channel and you're halfway there. I was expecting something almost comically naff, and it certainly had its moments. But overall I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't recognise any of the actors, which helped. The performances are generally solid, with Lin Shaye as Joyce particularly good and poignantly moving at times, especially early on in the film. Which helped sell the extremes as the film progressed. The themes felt enjoyably taboo, particularly because of the lead character being an older woman played by a 75 year old actress who has aged naturally. There are a couple of delightfully seedy scenes, my favourite being the small moment with the coffee spoon (a similar scene with a toothbrush was perhaps more memorable, but the subtle mundanity of the coffee refill made it more viably creepy to me). While it has elements of thriller, horror, drama, comedy and - of a fashion - romance, I'm still not sure how to categorise this film. Which I really like. Human interest perhaps sums it up.
