Goofs
When the car punctures its tires on road spikes, the car in question is a BMW which would normally be fitted with run-flat tires. This would allow the car to continue driving and would not have stopped the way it did.

There is some supense and the story isn't bad, decent enough for me.

After reading all those negative reviews I can only come to the conclusion there are a lot of quickly unsastified people on earth. I don't what they expect from a horror thriller like The Rental. I thought that for this genre it was a pretty decent movie. It won't win prizes or so but it's certainly entertaining. There is some good tension building and the acting wasn't bad either. I only know Jeremy Allen White from the excellent series Shameless, the rest of the cast was unknown to me but they all did a decent job. As for the horror it's mild but yet effective. All in all it wasn't a bad movie, certainly better than I expected for a movie in this genre.
