IFC Films has acquired the U.S. rights to director Dave Franco’s chilling thriller The Rental with Alison Brie (Horse Girl) and Dan Stevens (The Guest). It’s co-written by Franco & Joe Swanberg.
Based on a story by Franco & Swanberg & Mike Demski it centers on two couples who embark on a weekend getaway to a seemingly perfect house they’ve booked online. But what begins as a celebratory weekend for the four close friends turns into something far more sinister as secrets they’ve kept from each other are exposed and they realize they may not be alone.
Arianna Bocco EVP of Acquisitions and Productions at IFC Films said: “We’re beyond excited to partner with Dave on his directorial debut. He is a clear talent in front of and behind the camera and we are thrilled to bring this film to American audiences.”
