Cast Lin Shaye as Joyce Oliver Rayón as Robert Valeska Miller as Sarah Ryan Ochoa as Wayne Linda Cushma as Gladys Casey Nicholas Price as Edward Tonya June Moore as Sheila Release Reception On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Room for Rent has an approval rating of based on reviews. Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called it "essential viewing for Lin Shaye fans" and wrote: "The supporting characters are not nearly as well-developed or interesting, feeling more like plot devices and reducing the film's overall impact. And director Stovall (Aaron's Blood), although certainly competent, doesn't infuse the proceedings with the sort of cinematic stylishness that would have elevated Room for Rent above B-movie status. Nonetheless, it's essential viewing for Lin Shaye fans, and that's more than enough." Maria Lattila writing for the "Film Inquiry" told about the film: "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 its purest, but it explores some fascinating themes and one of Lin Shaye's best performances. Alex Saveliev from the online publication Film Threat gave the movie 7 out of 10 stars and stated: "Tommy Stoval's unpretentious descent into madness has a mercifully short running time. Fun and chilling, this bed-and-breakfast gets an extra star for its committed hostess.
