    A tense, coming of age survival story told, mostly, in deep depth of field. Hell of a film!

    March is slowly becoming the month of paranoid thrillers for me. First time viewing. Solid film. Great opening scene.

    A movie hasn’t bummed me out like this one in such a long time. That in no way makes it bad though. In my eyes, that makes it super effective. Rent a Pal is a  film that does its job and unnerves accordingly, joining the pantheon of tonally similar psychological thrillers such as as Mark Romanek’s One Hour Photo or Angela Bettis’s Roman. I do recommend this film and hope my musings haven’t  put anyone off to checking it out. While Rent a Pal certainly isn’t for everyone, it’s definitely a solid film.

    Surprisingly eerie, atmospheric, and good with an eclectic cast ranging from Karen Black to Divine.
