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

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.

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

Where the plot is going will very likely leave the viewer some guessing which path it will take.

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.

This was the most fun we've had watching a movie in a long time!! The suspense keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time.. at some points in the film I wanted to turn the movie off because some scenes make your skin crawl but then the curiosity of how the movie was going to end kept us watching. The chemistry and acting from Lin Shaye and Oliver Rayon was so believable at the end I couldn't stand Lin Shaye anymore that's how believable the characters were. Great acting, fun story and suspenseful great Friday night in movie!!
