Jennifer Jason Leigh stars in her creepiest role ever playing friend/stalker/murderer to a sexy Bridget Fonda. Wings star Steven Weber has to have the worst death ever following some crazy oral sex.

A compelling thriller, despite its shortcomings

An erotic thriller with an unhinged female lead, 1992's Single White Female was released mere months after Poison Ivy, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle and Basic Instinct, all of which tread similar thematic ground. Scripted by television veteran Don Roos (his first feature film credit), the movie is an adaptation of John Lutz's 1990 novel "SWF Seeks Same," and the resulting thriller represents a mo... read more

His follow-up was definitely not so classy though as it... read more

"It's funny how the Goodwill almost now serves as my defacto video store, only instead of renting movies for 3 bucks I'm buying them for 1 or 2. This was definitely the case with SWF, I was looking for something that my wife and I could watch that evening and an erotic thriller about psycho roomates featuring 2 powerhouse 90's actresses certainly fit the bill.
