Single Black Female
“A room-mate with a killer instinct”
Synopsis
When her roommate is brutally murdered, a Beverly Hills singer posts a "roommate wanted" ad in hopes of keeping up payments on her sprawling mansion in this thriller starring Destiny's Child's Farrah Franklin. Karma (Franklin)'s roommate is dead, and in order to remain up on her mortgage payments she'll have to find someone that can move in fast. Though an ad in the paper gets many replies, most of the applicants range from exceptionally quirky to outright insane. Eventually Karma selects the beautiful Sky (Kelle Cantwell) as her new roommate. But Karma's manager Wesley (Charlie Adams) can't help but feeling that something very strange is happening in his client's lavish, and he's about to discover that even the rich and famous can harbor some seriously dark secrets.

THOT Horror
The erotic thriller that was once all about white suburban angst now taps into the upper middle class black nightmare of infidelity--side-chick-sploitation, THOT horror, black erotic thriller (BET)--whatever you want to call it. Invariably, a happy black couple in a posh neighbourhood with generic white-collar jobs typically reserved for white sitcom characters (architect, publicist, financial analyst) drink wine from the Olivia Pope collection, but their world is turned upside-down when a disturbed individual attempts to break up their marriage. When said lunatic is rebuffed, they turn violent. Unlike Fatal Attraction or Basic Instinct, the woman tends to be the main protagonist and the man is shunted to the side or killed for his trouble. They’re totally unaware they’re bad, are practically identical and make excellent use of Morris Chestnut and Taraji P. Henson.
