Two couples looking to celebrate their seed money from a new business venture, embark on a weekend getaway to a seemingly perfect house they’ve booked online. But what begins as a festive weekend for the four close friends turns into something far more sinister as secrets they’ve kept from each other are exposed and paranoia grows that they may not be alone.
Upon receipt of this news, my immediate reaction was to yell “DAN STEVENS!”, …and I haven’t really stopped doing that since. Any horror project with Stevens (The Guest, Apostle) on board is an automatic win in my book. With Allison Brie (Horse Girl) by his side and her husband Dave Franco directing (this being his debut), the result is bound to be quite the adventure. Dave also shares a writing credit with mumblecore master Joe Swanberg (V/H/S, Silver Bullets, 24 Exposures).
The Rental will be available in theaters (assuming theaters are still in existence post pandemic) and on demand July 24, 2020.
