Cohabitation

Cohabitation is a gripping psychological thriller set in Milwaukee, with Tiffany Streng delivering a strong performance as Emily Jacobson, a former paramedic haunted by guilt over a patient's death. Seeking a fresh start, Emily moves into a new apartment and, after a series of strange interviews, finds a seemingly normal roommate, Sarah Rickerson. However, things take a dark turn when Sarah's true, vengeful nature emerges.

The film explores themes of trauma, guilt, and vengeance, as Emily searches for redemption while Sarah spirals into darkness after being assaulted by their landlord. Their relationship becomes a psychological battleground, with director Henry Charly expertly building tension throughout. Cohabitation stands out as a slow-burn indie thriller, with Milwaukee's isolating atmosphere adding to its suspense. Fans of character-driven dramas and tense thrillers will find it a compelling watch.

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.

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.

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.

Well-shot and acted. It's a good movie for people to watch. Ah, man, this flick's got more twists than a corkscrew on a merry-go-round, and let me tell ya, the ending's so unexpected it'll knock ya right off your seat. The tension in this bad boy is so thick you could cut it with a butter knife, and the emotions of the characters hit ya like a freight train. They paid attention to every little detail, man, and the eerie foreshadowing will give you goosebumps that'll last for days. I ain't kiddin', this flick's a real winner, even if you ain't usually into this kind of thing. You gotta check it out, trust me.
