Scream Factory has announced that they will bring writer/director Jon Stevenson’s claustrophobic thriller Rent-A-Pal to Blu-Ray on March 9, 2021. The film features a terrifying performance from Wil Wheaton (Big Bang Theory) and stylish ‘90s techo-horror, resulting in one of the most inventive horror films of the year.
Synopsis: He talks to you. He listens to you. He understands you. He’s your Rent-A-Pal. In this thriller set in 1990, a lonely bachelor named David (Brian Landis Folkins) searches for an escape from the day-to-day drudgery of caring for his aging mother (Kathleen Brady). While seeking a partner through a video dating service, he discovers a strange VHS tape called Rent-A-Pal. Hosted by the charming and charismatic Andy (Wil Wheaton), the tape offers him much-needed company, compassion, and friendship. But Andy’s friendship comes at a cost, and David desperately struggles to afford the price of admission.
