"Wil Wheaton plays one of the scariest villains of the year" – RogerEbert.com
"Expertly keeps you on edge" – Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter
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.
