Bloody Disgusting learned today that the new suspense thriller Room for Rent, starring veteran actress Lin Shaye (the Insidious franchise, Grudge), will be released by genre distributor Uncork’d Entertainment May 3rd in select theaters and on digital May 7th.
Shaye stars as a lonely widow who rents out a room in her house and becomes dangerously obsessed with one of her guests.
“Lonely widow Joyce rents out a room to make easy money. She meets mysterious drifter Bob and takes him in as a long-term tenant. She becomes obsessed with her much younger guest, making him the object of her deepest romantic fantasies. When a friend’s betrayal derails Joyce’s fantasy world, she seizes control of her own destiny with a deadly mission to finally get what she deserves.”
Room for Rent is directed by Tommy Stovall. Here’s an exclusive look at the film’s trailer that should pair nicely with Sony Screen Gems’ The Intruder, which opens the same day.
