The Rental

Some of it feels familiar, but there is enough depth and atmosphere to make it different. I like that you're left with a lot of questions, and don't really know what's going on. I think the main issue dragging it down is that you're not rooting for anyone. Each character ranges from obnoxious to full on scummy. If there is a sequel, a bit of pathos, for someone, would go a long way.

It's a mix of drama and horror. The build-up of suspense during the first hour pulled me in, but the ending really lets the air out of the balloon. The only way the ending makes sense is if Franco is trying to set up for a sequel. I did think the acting and cinematography were great. Worth it if you're bored and want a movie to watch, but that's about it.

The 4 main protagonists are so obnoxious and idiotic in this movie, does it even matter what happen to them? Not one of them seem to have a redeemable quality, representing the epitome of the pretentious and self-absorbed Bay Area mentality.

Plods along ok, gets weird later. Not a patch on cabin in the woods obvs.

Held my interest until the end. Potentially good story collapsed at the finish line. Don't waste your time.

Awful. Well acted, pretty tense, awful 3rd act. Seriously, what a waste of time. Which is too bad because it had a lot of promise with two very well done acts.

I'm down for anything with Jeremy Allen White, and The Rental is no exception. Creepy thriller with some solid acting from the small cast. Dave Franco didn't do anything ground breaking in his directorial debut but he got the little things right when building the suspense to the final act.

It's watchable, while you're watching it. But when you come to think back over it, none of it really makes any sense, or has any meaning.

Very anticlimactic, very little suspense. Went in looking for a slasher, got a very boring drama that happened to have a hammer or two and a missing dog. Highly disappointed.

Not sure why this movie has gotten any hate, the jump scares got us pretty good and the ending was fantastic! Sure, it wasn't "anything new", but it was a good time!
