Back in 2002 when James Franco’s career was really starting to take off as a result of Spider-Man; his younger brother, Dave Franco, was 17 years old. His career hadn’t even begun yet, but over time, he would blossom into what I like to call “The Better Franco” — for more reasons than one. But it seems as if acting might not be his only passion, as Dave just recently headed up the horror film “The Rental,” which he directed, produced and co-wrote. I hope he keeps at it.

Naturally, it all starts with a good cast. Jeremy Allen White has been doing great work on the US adaptation of Shameless (regardless of its fluctuating quality), and it is assuring to see him get a break here alongside of Dan Stevens: another recent great. Add another good turn from Alison Brie into the mix and Sheila Vand and you have yourself a formidable foursome of actors to help propel your directorial debut. Toby Huss as the sassy property booker is just extra.

Final Thoughts:

Dave Franco has a decent career ahead of him based on his horror-fest directorial debut.
