Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter It's essential viewing for Lin Shaye fans, and that's more than enough. May 1, 2019 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse A light-hearted dark comedy about the consequences of frittering away a fortune. Rated: 3/5 Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Terry Mesnard Gayly Dreadful Room for Rent plays itself too seriously and the tone never feels more than slightly uncomfortable for most of the run time. Rated: 2/5 Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Maria Lattila Film Inquiry Room For Rent is a lovely little thriller gem, a real diamond in the rough. It's not a class A film or cinema at it's purest, but it explores some fascinating themes and one of Lin Shaye's best performances. May 24, 2019 Full Review Alex Saveliev Film Threat Tommy Stoval's unpretentious descent into madness has a mercifully short running time. Fun and chilling, this bed-and-breakfast gets an extra star for its committed hostess. Rated: 7/10 May 22, 2019 Full Review Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews Where the plot is going will very likely leave the viewer some guessing which path it will take. Rated: 6/10 May 17, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Izzie P That's the worst effing film I've ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Kaden F Lin Shay carries, it was a nice little indie thriller otherwise! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review Ericc B I recently watched Room for Rent and I was thoroughly impressed. The entire cast's performances were exceptional, and I found myself engrossed in the story from start to finish. I've already recommended the movie to many friends and family members, all of whom share my enthusiasm for it. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Oliver Rayon's work in the future. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
