Crappy trailer for 'The Roommate' thriller

A first trailer for Christian E. Christiansen's upcoming thriller "The Roommate" is now online, and yeah, it looks like crap. Just another one of those cheap thrillers about a crazy person terrorizing someone else.

Alyson Michalka and Cam Gigandet co-star, and "The Roommate" opens Feb. 4, 2011. This rather lame trailer tells me two things: this film boasts cheap scares and a story that feels like it belongs into trash can.

After a little white lie about losing her virginity gets out, a clean cut high-school girl (Emma Stone) sees her life paralleling Hester Prynne's in "The Scarlet Letter," which she is currently studying in school.

Cam Gigandet, Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Haden Church, Alyson Michalka and Amanda Bynes co-star in the film, which has some funny moments and conveys its messages in an original way.
