Lead actress of Lana should not have cast herself.

From the very start of this story you instinctively know it will not end well.

Director - Meredith Edwards and writer - Naomi McDougall Jones worked together so obviously well they created this gem of a film. The two main characters - Lana (Naomi McDougall Jones) and Kate (Katie Morrison) are perfectly cast as the two emotionally needy apartment roommates. - These two characters are the story! - Everyone else in the cast are just support for what is happening and has happened to these two girls.

Lana shows up at Kate's apartment in answer to an ad to rent a room. Kate is bitchy and strange - we don't know why. Lana takes the room and takes pity on the erratic and depressed Kate. The communication between these two girls is difficult and strained. Lana is weirdly compassionate and, we the viewers know there is something up with this girl - we only know she is from Utah and her mother committed suicide. As the story progresses Kate eventually warms to Lana because Lana wants to be helpful. But Lana's behavior becomes more and more intrusive into Kate's life and we can see that Lana is emotionally and socially unstable by her interactions with Kates boyfriend. But Lana's fall slowly brings Kate out of her shell of depression and back to her boyfriend. By the end of the story Kate seems to have given up and is letting Lana control her life. Then suddenly the truth about Lana comes to light.

This film is easy to get involved with and has numerous unexpected twist.
