Cohabitation

I very much enjoyed this film! It really takes a look at someone grieving a loss and trying to get past it. Though, she just can't seem to make ends meet. I love the twist in the story of the main character looking for roommates to help her afford the rent and it leads her down a rabbit hole of dark events. Well done!

PTSD through the eyes of a struggling paramedic, exacerbated by a creepy roommate in a small, claustrophobic apartment, makes for a compelling watch. Perfectly paced, this thriller is a slow burn that delivers. A few unexpected twists and turns lead the viewer down a path that keeps you riveted. The performances were good and I particularly liked the lead, who played a low key, damaged paramedic who was able to summon up hesitant smiles for her brother and his fiance when called for. Cohabitation is more than just a story about a twisted roommate; it's a well-made character driven drama about overcoming mental health obstacles in a world where it's hard to trust.

Cohabitation is a psychological thriller and a different take on the psycho roommate. This indie is well written, well edited and well acted. Full of suspense and unpredictable moments this film is definitely worth a watch.

Emily, played by Tiffany Streng, is a paramedic dealing with PTSD and working hard to get her life together. She changes jobs, takes a pay cut and then needs to find a roommate. After interviewing several people she decides to invite Sarah to move in who seems to be normal but we soon find out is far from it.

Streng's authentic performance helps the viewer get lost in the story and kept me on the edge of my seat. The filmmakers did a wonderful job in telling this story; the dialogue, shots, acting and editing flowed so well, so much so that you forget it is a low budget indie.

Fun to watch, well made! I recommend highly! It was a nice escape to get involved with the interesting story and rich characters. It's nice to see a thriller that isn't spoiled by forced Hollywood conventions and relies more on the story. Great job.

Entertaining character-driven story with thriller undertones about a paramedic who attempts to skirt PTSD by checking out of life but her new roommate with a questionable past has other plans. Interesting vendetta twist. Up and coming filmmaker/writer Lauren Barker keeps things moving and lively in this well-produced microbudget drama.
