The Rental (2020)
A slow-boil horror about homesharing, the directorial debut of Dave Franco follows two couples who rent a hauntingly beautiful cliffside retreat and soon realize that things are not what they seem.
You guessed it: they’re being watched by a high-tech peeping Tom. The top-notch cast includes Alison Brie (pictured), Dan Stevens, Sheila Vand and Jeremy Allen White and Toby Huss.
The film creeped out Barry Jenkins so much that the Oscar winner went back through his own history of home rentals to try to suss out any shady ones, he told Franco in this discussion about The Rental.
We think the film would have been much more popular if not for its release near the peak of the Covid lockdowns, when most theaters were closed.
