The Rental - Kritiken

It’s a confident directorial debut, one that’s clearly been made by someone who knows exactly what he wanted to do with every frame, every performance, and every technical decision.

Franco's assured debut fits straight into the upper echelons of mumblegore, the character-and-relationship-driven horror offspring of mumblecore.

...a neat, nasty little thriller with a brutally effective final third.

The performances are pitch-perfect, the picture opens with dread and the suspense builds nicely.

Dave Franco har gjort årets skräckfilm.

...oerhört obehaglig.

Dramaet er glimrende fremført af de fire skuespillere, som langsomt mister tålmodigheden med hinanden og siden besindelsen...

...this sharp, engrossing horror-thriller gets by with no supernatural elements, relying entirely on scarily believable human behavior and intrusive technology.

The Rental boats a strong cast, an intriguing set up, and a compelling mystery. It's a fun and feisty web of lies and deception...

...takes a creepy, compelling turn.

Dave Franco's directorial debut, The Rental, with its promising cast members and stunning production cannot do much with its storyline.
