In case you haven’t check it out yet, today none other than Stephen King recommended Dave Franco’s The Rental with Dan Stevens, Alison Brie, and Sheila Vand.
He writes: “I liked Dave Franco’s THE RENTAL (Amazon Prime) very much. We’ve seen this horror trope before, what Joe Bob Briggs once called “Spam in a cabin,” but this features an actual plot, drawn wire-tight. Has a John D. MacDonald feel.”
Check out his post below.
The film is co-produced and directed by Franco who also co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Swanberg (V/H/S), based on a story by Mike Demski.
It tells the tale of two couples on an oceanside getaway who grow suspicious that the host of their seemingly perfect rental house may be spying on them. Before long, what should have been a celebratory weekend trip turns into something far more sinister
Rated R for violence, language throughout, drug use and some sexuality, the film sports a 74% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Some tricky genre juggling makes The Rental a bit of a fixer-upper, but effective chills and a solid cast make this a fine destination for horror fans.
