Movie Reviews

  • it's exciting stumbling into films like "The Rental"; great concepts only work with strong execution, and The Rental truly booked its stay here
    Review rate : B+ by Michael Roffman [Consequence of Sound ]
  • in his first outing as a director, Dave Franco stages a weekend-house-getaway thriller with tense flavor and skill; That said, most of it is skillful and engrossing enough to establish Franco as a director to watch
    by Owen Gleiberman [Variety ]
  • Dave Franco's directorial debut is a tense and taut emotional thriller; The script, direction, and performances all concoct an anxiety-riddled emotional drama in the first act before descending into traditional, relatively effective horror tropes
    4 of 5 by Patrick Cavanaugh [Comicbook ]
  • Dave Franco makes his directorial debut with "The Rental", a sturdy, small-scale thriller that makes little lasting impact but certainly succeeds in providing some clever jolts
    Review rate : B by Christopher Schobert [The Film Stage ]
  • a small but satisfying slice of indie horror; Dave Franco's small but spiffy directorial debut; an occasionally awkward but mostly assured hybrid of horror and chamber dramedy
    by Jon Frosch [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • a neat, nasty little thriller with a brutally effective final third
    Review rate : B+ by Leah Greenblatt [Entertainment Weekly ]
  • "The Rental" [is] much smarter than the average thriller; With all-around good performances, compelling themes, and an ever-increasing sense of eeriness, "The Rental" easily ranks among the year's best genre films
    3.5 of 4 by Mike McGranaghan [Aisle Seat ]
