Rent-A-Pal goes full-tilt mayhem in its final act, shattering its carefully calibrated dread in a race to make an already belabored point: that technological advancements are to be questioned, and there is no substitute for human connection. September 11, 2020 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

This thriller, the debut feature from Jon Stevenson - who not only wrote, produced and directed it, but was also the editor - does a lot of things well. Or almost well. But finally, not well enough. September 10, 2020 | Full Review…

The majority of the film looks like it could have been a disturbing psychological study ... But then, Rent-A-Pal went down a very unimaginative and cliché horror path toward the end of the film. September 25, 2020 | Full Review…

Throughout Rent-A-Pal, the language of misogyny bleats loudly, persuading the easily gulled that only their fellow Y chromosome compatriots understand them and that the roadblock denying them fulfillment is female influence. September 24, 2020 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
