History Film / SingleWhiteFemale

* FriendsRentControl: Despite being a presumably well paid computer programmer, Allie can't afford the rent on her own, which is why she's looking for a roommate. So she takes in Hedy... who works at a bookstore. It's unlikely she's making the salary necessary to afford her portion of the rent.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Hedy, to say the least. She starts off being weirdly possessive Allie, particularly by sabotaging her and Sam's attempts to reconcile, before she goes completely off the deep end.

A 1992 suspense/horror film directed by Creator/BarbetSchroeder based on the novel "SWF Seeks Same" by John Lutz.

* AssholeVictim: Mitchell is shot by Hedy, though he had tried to rape Allie earlier in the film, so his death is hardly mourned.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Hedy tormenting and killing Allie's creepy rapist client Mitchell. Her killing of Sam might arguably count as well, depending on how you view Sam.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Allie catches a glimpse of Hedy doing this in her bed one night and is oddly freaked out by it.

* FanDisservice: Hedy performing unwelcomed oral sex on Sam. It starts out very hot at first as Sam thinks it’s Allie but Hedy lifts her head up to reveal herself which freaks Sam out as he tries to stop it but unfortunately he’s too close to orgasming and cums in her mouth. Sam’s disgusted look afterwards says it all and the audience agrees.

* ComeOutComeOutWhereverYouAre: Hedy says this while she searches for Allie. [[spoiler:Darkly, her mental illness

%% * BitchInSheepsClothing: Hedy, again.
%% * BoundAndGagged: Allie, twice.

%% * ComeOutComeOutWhereverYouAre: Hedy while she searches for Allie.

%% * PsychoLesbian: [[AmbiguouslyGay Possibly Hedy]]. Does she want to be Allie, or be with her, or both?
%% * ReplacementGoldfish: Hedy is looking for this regarding her sister.

%% * SurvivorGuilt: How Hedy felt after the death of her sister.

A 1992 suspense/horror film based on the novel "SWF Seeks Same" by John Lutz.

* AngstySurvivingTwin: We learn that Hedy is one of these, both from the story that she tells Allie--that her twin was stillborn--and when Allie discovers [[spoiler:a picture of seven year old twin girls and realizes this was a lie.]] During the film's epilogue, we learn that [[spoiler:in reality, Hedy's twin drowned when they were little girls and Hedy has been mentally ill ever since.]]

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther:
** Even after ALL the awful things Hedy had done to Allie and eventually she was forced to kill her but despite all of it? Allie can’t find it in her heart to be mad at Hedy and forgives her for killing Sam as well with trying to forgive herself for killing Hedy.
** Allie cried of sadness at watching Hedy die after killing her. Granted it was self-defense but it’s clearly not what she wanted to do, which shows that she really cared for her and wanted her to get the help she needed.
%% * AxCrazy: Hedy.

%% * DeathOfAChild: The puppy and Hedy's twin, though she died offscreen long before the story proper.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: [[spoiler:What Hedy does to Sam is rape: she tricks him into thinking that she's Allie, and when he realizes she isn't halfway through the act he tries to put a stop to it, but it's too late. The movie does show it to be awful thing, but it's treated more as a crime against Allie, not Sam: another of Hedy's twisted attempts to steal Allie's life, by stealing her boyfriend. The fact that Sam is clearly feeling angry and violated by it isn't really addressed.]]

* NotSoDifferent: During their final confrontation, Allie tells Hedy: "I'm not like your sister, Hedy. Not anymore. I'm like you now."

* CreepyBasement: Allie even says she's scared to go there during the night. A bit of {{Foreshadowing}] there, as that's the climactic DesignatedGirlFight takes her and Hedy.
