What's that movie?-filter
This movie stars a woman who has a slender build and is set in New York City. Her character is a software designer for fashion companies. She has just broken up with her live-in boyfriend and takes on a roommate. This roommate turns out to be completely insane and is trying to recreate the life she had before her twin drowned in an accident. Eventually, the first woman reconciles with her boyfriend, despite the new roommate's attempts to stymie this. Finally, the new roommate sleeps with the fiance (or possibly only administers oral sex)— so complete is her transformation into the other woman that she fools even he for a little while— but she uses this as a justification to kill him, since he would cheat on her friend. The method of murder is to use her stiletto heels like, well, stilettos. The climax of the movie occurs in an incinerator in the basement of the building, and finally the original woman is able to kill the new roommate after much difficulty. I believe that this movie was released in the 1980s, although the early-to-mid 90s is possible as well.
All of these details could be slightly inaccurate.

Best answer: Is it Single White Female? I haven't seen it in a long time so I'm not sure.
