Because he is wearing a mask, she is unable to offer a 100% positive identification. He kills a woman while jogging, then literally bumps into Kristen's car near the scene of the crime. He has subsequently changed his name and withheld his unsavory past from Moira.Īpparently, Jake is a serial killer. He had murdered a young woman, but was acquitted at trial. But she has no idea that he is hiding a secret from his past. Kristen is a psychology major, and she instantly sizes up Jake for a fraud. Mom's little secret that she was keeping from her daughter is that she has been living in sin! The tenant named Jake is half Moira's age, and she has done no background check on him. The mother-daughter bond is strained when Kristen makes a surprise visit home from her studies in Berkeley to learn that her mom has rented out her room to a boarder.
The glue that holds the film together is the relationship of Moira Atherton and her daughter Kristen.
"Room For Murder" (a.k.a., "The Boarder") is a tawdry tale set in the fictional town of Riverview, California. Reviewed by lavatch 5 / 10 Mom's Little Secret
