The Rental

this is what you missed last week on shameless 😧

The main plots have no connection to one another and never get resolved. The killer is irrelevant and has no real motive or ties to the main characters—you never even see their face. There’s nothing to think about or chew on after the movie ends, nor is it a campy slasher. 2/10

So the premise is good. The end end is good. But the climax was so bad. I mean some spoilers.

You have this whole incident you expect and it happens. Instead of psychological warfare and putting them against each other you just bludgeon them. No panache. No showmanship.

Cheesy and predictable

It had all the right ingredients but just managed to miss the mark somehow. I knew this was going to be a film of 2 halves going in, and while the first part did build tension, it didn't really feel like it paid off in the end. Good performances and well shot, just didn't land.

boring kills, unlikable characters - most of which are pretty awful people, and a bland killer which seems to be deliberatly written with 0 discernable qualities exept mute?? na.
