My obsession with Bridget Fonda (Point of no Return) began with this twisted, erotic thriller that I went to the theater to see when I was 12. As a young impressionable gay boy I found her performance riveting she was stylish, gorgeous and just everything I wanted to be at the time. Well let's get to the movie, Fonda stars as Ally a young woman who discovers her fiancee is cheating on her and throws him out. She than advertises for a new room mate and after some duds meets Hedra Carlson played by a perfectly psychotic Jennifer Jason Leigh. Heddy becomes obsessed with Ally and starts to impersonate her from her hairstyle to having relations with her fiancee. It soon escalates into terror as Ally finds out that Heddy is capable of much more than she thinks. It all leads up to an edge of your seat finale that makes this one of the premiere 90s thrillers like hand that rocks the cradle, basic instinct and sliver. The performances are solid all around and the direction from Barbet Schroeder is stylish and edge of your seat. Making this an intense, unforgettable thrill ride.
