Jeff S I enjoy movies that take an unexpected turn or two. Up until 10 minutes before the end, I thought the "pal" would somehow end up being the menace. Great acting by the two main protagonists, the lonely guy and his "pal", and perfectly chosen actors for the mother and new girlfriend. I could actually see the new relationship as the way to a brighter future for all three non-pal characters. The movie built your sympathy for the lonely character up until near the end, when the reality was revealed by things going wonderfully sideways to spiral completely out of control. Only one item really went beyond the point of my ability to suspend disbelief... the mother's ability to get herself down to the basement at several key points in the movie or to get far from the house in the escape scene. I don't think so... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Aluna U Rent A Pal is a psychological thriller that explores the dark effects of loneliness through David’s unsettling bond with a videotaped “friend.” The film cleverly blurs the line between reality and delusion, keeping viewers intrigued and uneasy as David’s mental state deteriorates. Strong performances and a chilling, well-executed ending make this a memorable and haunting watch.

If you want to watch a different kind of '80s horror...this is it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Chris G A unique, well acted musing on obsession only fails because it felt like it could have done more with its unsettling premise. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/25/24 Full Review Ricardo d Um bom roteiro, boa interpretação, só acho que peca um pouco na edição e definitivamente não deveria ser colocado como um filme de terror e sim um drama ou suspense.
