Homecoming

Talk about a psycho girlfirend, Shelby, played by Mischa Barton fits the role perfectly in what I would consider to be one of her best movies yet. When the love of her life, Mike, (played by Matt Long) returns home from college with his new girlfirend Elizabeth (played by 90210's Jessica Stroup), Shelby loses it. After severly injuring Elizabeth by hitting her with her car, Shelby decides to keep her locked up in her basement all the while convincing Matt that Elizabeth has left him and returned home. Shelby goes to the extremes of drugging and re-injuring Elizabeth to keep her quite while she trys to seduce Matt. What Shelby soon comes to realize is that Matt wants nothing to do with her and is actually in love with Elizabeth. The movie becomes increasingly dramatic as it goes on and it ends with a huge twist. Will Shelby get her revenge against Matt and Elizabeth or will their new relationship prevail. I give Homecoming 1 thumb up for its sick and twisted plot, but somewhat dragging story line.
