The Roommate
1993, English. Directed by Jim Steel.
Is There a Stranger in the House?
Is there a stranger in the house? One can't be too careful these days when advertising for a roommate. Who knows...you might end up with a Jack the Ripper type or in this case a Gay Basher who's desperately trying to hide his own gayness. If the latter shows up at your door, be sure to offer him some gentle loving kindness. It may end up that he could become your own personal Jack to Rip My Clothes Off.
