Dave Franco's film has received mixed reviews Some critics have called it an effective thriller, while others have been disappointed that it is not scary enough A roundup of Rent's critics:

Rolling Stone Magazine Over its 88 minutes, Rent never strikes a nerve But it is the human betrayal that casts a longer shadow and keeps us up at night"

New York Times "One of the most unsatisfying and anticlimactic endings in the genre's memory

Entertainment Weekly "A small, mean-spirited thriller with a brutally effective final third

AV Club "It's as if someone snatched the remote control and changed the channel to a half-baked slasher featuring the same characters"

Associated Press: "If a horror movie like this can be divided into three parts: a dreamlike setup, scary things happening, and a loose ending where everything is ruined, what makes "Rent" more satisfying is that the ending is actually scary, suspenseful and even surprising"
