It was supposed to be the perfect weekend.
Dave Franco makes his directorial debut with the horror film The Rental, and Deadline reports that the Alison Brie and Dan Stevens-starring film has found a home at IFC Films.
IFC Films has acquired U.S. rights, with a release planned later this year.
The cast also includes Sheila Vand and Jeremy Allen White.
The Rental is a character-driven horror thriller about two couples who rent a vacation home for what should be a celebratory weekend get-away.
“The thriller begins as two couples embark on a weekend getaway to a seemingly perfect house they’ve booked online. What begins as a celebratory weekend for the quartet turns into something far more sinister, as secrets they’ve kept from each other are exposed. It also becomes clear they may not be alone in the house.”
Franco wrote the script with Joe Swanberg (Drinking Buddies, Happy Christmas).
Ramona’s Vince Jolivette, Elizabeth Haggard, and Dave Franco produce, alongside Black Bear’s Ben Stillman and Teddy Schwarzman. Joe Swanberg and Chris Storer are also producing and Black Bear’s Michael Heimler is executive producing along with Sean Durkin.
