The Rental

As a blend of Horror, Mystery, and Drama, 'The Rental' primarily evokes strong feelings of Anxiety and Fear as two couples become suspicious of their rental host and face a sinister threat. The unfolding mystery and building tension contribute significantly to Anticipation and Curiosity. The dramatic core, revealing well-kept secrets and fracturing relationships, elicits Sadness and Empathy for the characters' plights and betrayals. Disturbing elements arise from the voyeurism, the escalating violence, and the moral failings exposed. Surprise is present through unexpected twists, while Anger and Disgust are directed at the antagonist and the characters' own actions, leading to an overall sense of unease and a bleak, melancholic conclusion.
