It's essential viewing for Lin Shaye fans, and that's more than enough.

A light-hearted dark comedy about the consequences of frittering away a fortune.

Room for Rent plays itself too seriously and the tone never feels more than slightly uncomfortable for most of the run time.

Room For Rent is a lovely little thriller gem, a real diamond in the rough. It's not a class A film or cinema at it's purest, but it explores some fascinating themes and one of Lin Shaye's best performances.
