This movie is worth watching. I am a big horror fan and I loved this movie. Didn't expect anything and walked away so glad I found it online. Such superb editing and story board! Bravo! Hands down one of the most well thought out and perfectly edited horror films I have ever seen and I've seen everything. I will be looking at any and all movies that this director makes. Love horror and this is literally one of the best ones I've seen in years. If you're having second thoughts I promise just jump in head first. You won't be sorry. Loved the ending too: bittersweet. Can't believe how good this was.

The most important act is actually in 2/3 of the film
HafizhMaulana213 August 2023
A film inspired by scary true events. A happy little family must be disturbed by the strangeness and terror of a sect that rents their house. The terror continues to befall their little daughter who will become a new host for the desired spirit.
Thai films do provide an interesting, unique and creative treat. Home for Rent is one of the proofs of films that provide a new experience in watching horror films. Home for Rent does not just provide the story of a secret sect that is disguised in it, but in terms of stories that have an interesting plot in it. This film has a runtime of 2 hours which may only feel the excitement of this film after an hour after. How not, at the beginning of this film the intensity of the film is quite slow in introducing the characters and conflicts in it. Only an hour later, the film experienced an improvement in the story and became the beginning of the climax of this film. Home for Rent presents a plot twist in it with a backward plot to see it from a different perspective. Not long after, a plot twist occurs again in it with a new angle. Which then connects into a clear unity. Even at the end of the film and the climax of the film still presents an unexpected plot. The climactic scene gives a different ending. Shocking, moving, unexpected and in the end becomes an ending that gives a sense of sincerity in it.
Home for Rent provides an interesting and unique mystical horror treat. Appearing different from the story in general, Home for Rent is not only centered on how the sect works, but on a sad drama. Nothing but a sad drama wrapped in a mystical horror story. Home for Rent has a good lineup of actors. They are able to provide stories that make us curious and feel suspenseful. A story plot that plays nicely. The continuous plot twist makes us continue to be surprised and not expect. Overall, the movie is good.

Finally Netflix
bjornrhein23 August 2023
Almost gave up good movies on Netflix, but then this pearl showed up , this is a very good horror movie , its walk the walk and talk the talk , a horror all inclusive , close to perfect
The story is very good, its scary actually, make you crawl up in the corner with the shamepillow infront of your face, not many movies can do that , this is asian quality on its edge, what I like most in this movie is the nonstop happenings, its start to be creepy pretty fast and then it just keep going with no breaks , you sit like a burning candle from first minute to the last
Acting is ok , effects aswell , but little bit the week points in this movie and it is little bit to long ,,, but this is anyway a very good horror movie.

Clearly one of the better ones.

Home for Rent is a movie that comes out as fresh from the Asian cinema, one that is saturated with ghost stories. Don't get me wrong, this isn't far off either, but it does manage to provide a good plot, non linear execution and plenty of tension and mystery to it.
It was a nice surprise, I do declare myself a fan of this genre, the Asian market has its strong points, but lately nothing scary or convincing came out. This one isn't scary either but I do think it's intelligent, respects its viewer and is made with passion instead of a cash grab project.
Definitely recommended, it takes its time to build a proper story, to include the viewer, to make him question what's happening on the screen and also offers a good ending. So head to toes, a lovely experience here.
Cheers!

I opened it with low expectations and liked it
olcayozfirat20 October 2023
I opened the movie without any high expectations. But it wasn't bad. The gradually increasing tension, the effects, the explanation of the subject by everyone, etc. Were all very good. I also liked the acting. I loved the little girl.
When the family of 3 moves to their new house, they are thinking of renting out their old house. Although the father does not want to rent it at first. We understand the reason for this in the middle. Two strange women keep the house. While interesting events occur in their old home, strange events occur in the family's new home. The father of the family also exhibits mysterious behavior.
There is no sexuality or nudity in the movie.

Tenants from... hell?
Howling_at_the_Moon_Reviews13 February 2024
This story was chock-FULL, let me tell you lol. If an average movie is like a paperback book, this one felt like a novel.
I think it edged on convoluted but never quite teetered over that line... it was just full of detail and extensive storytelling. At its pretty long run time of about 2 hours it somehow never really felt like it was dragging... yet still felt like the 2 hr length that it was.
Nothing about this story felt crazy original, yet they still managed to do it in a certain way that felt fresh and intriguing. The visuals were quite nice here and the acting was a high point for sure. The mom in particular did quite a nice job and I was very impressed with the little girls abilities.
This was a fun ride that was spooky, heartfelt and pretty captivating story wise. 6.5 rounding up to a 7, would recommend.

TRIES TOO HARD.
andrewchristianjr17 January 2024
Although the movie tries too hard on the Scare-O-Meter by overly playing spooky music at every scene and typical jump scares, the story, suspense and build-up itself is good and made up for that unnecesity.
Synopsis: Ning, Kwin, and their daughter, Ing, shifted to the condo. Ning started to notice a shift in her husband's behavior. He was a little too attached to a red book that he carried along with him wherever he went. When Ning asked him about it, he stated that it was the factory manual. He had also recently had a symbol tattooed on his chest; he blamed it on a game of dare that he indulged in with his colleagues. Ning very well knew that Kwing was lying, but she couldn't understand the reason behind it. When she went back to the house to collect some items, she was a little surprised by Dr. Nuch's behavior. Dr. Nuch was clearly annoyed by Ning's sudden visit and wanted her to leave the house immediately.

A movie that respects viewers
SashaDarko20 July 2023
I watched the movie in a theater and bought the ticket for about 2.5$, not knowing anything about it. I'm impressed with Thai and Indonesian horror movies, this one is not an exception.
I don't want to spoil the plot, so I'd say it has more than a possessed item storyline. The movie also tells the story following the sides of each of the two protagonists, explaining certain things and situations in detail.
It's an amazing movie overall and feels like a blockbuster - great CGI, editing and soundtrack, believable acting, etc.
It feels like the team and director respect the viewer, while I can't say it's something super new for the genre, it's definitely really well made and just feels quaility.

Basic, boring and not scary at all
lirikson13 December 2023
This movie was not good. It wasn't scary at all, the plot wasn't exciting, the movie was an hour longer than it needed to be, and overall, it felt quite basic. We follow the story from three different perspectives which becomes repetitive and redundant. There's no room left for mystery or contemplation. The sound effects are exaggerated, the CGI is unimpressive, and the lack of excitement is compensated with overly dramatic film music.
I'm really surprised that this movie has received such good reviews (6.6) so far. I was excited to watch this movie, as horror films rarely get such high ratings. I had high expectations that slowly but surely faded away as the movie progressed. The only reason I'm not giving it less than three stars is that I've unfortunately seen worse. Now I've wasted two hours of my life that I'll never get back. Don't do as I did, don't waste two hours on your life on this movie. It's not worth it.

Captivating and Scary, High-quality Horror Film
khemass16 February 2024
This one surprises me a lot. The production overall is just superb. The story grabs the attention of the audience all the way with such a clever and reasonable plot, great editing, talented cast, the sound effects and cg effects are excellent as a horror film. It has double twists and they work well. The main characters are performed by experienced actors and actresses and they all look believable in their roles. The child actresses did good job, too.
I think this is one good thrill ride. It keeps us wanting to know more how the mother would solve this problem with the tenants and her own husband. There are ghosts popping up here and there, and yes, they are scary. The dark ritual also looks strange and frightening.
Usually I don't give 9 rating to a horror film because it doesn't give any meaningful message. However, the sad but surprisingly touching and beautiful ending of the film made me decide to give higher rating. Surely, you won't be able to guess the ending before the climax scene. It shows that the writer of the story is smart and also has a heart.

Started off as your basic horror, but takes it to the next level with a multiperspective view. Nothing great, but very entertaining

I'm actually annoyed with the Ing kid who betrayed her mother and always sided with the dumb father who also betrayed his own wife for keeping her in the dark about Jaa. The mom always wanted to protect her daughter while the dumb dad kept putting everyone in danger, making his own daughter as sacrifice. Even tho it's sad for the mother losing Ing in the end, maybe Jaa deserves a mom more than Ing.. oh well. This movie was quite good with the clear POV of main casts. The pace was also quite fast, it didn't beat around the bush with too much meaningless scenes imo. Like it went straight to house rent in the beginning. Worth watching, not too horror imo.
A good horror movie with some flaws
saadkhan-618339 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
First of all, let me give you a straight review that this is a good horror movie. A must watch. Better than a lot of recent horror flicks from Hollywood like evil dead and insidious.
The story is good, they do not leave you hanging to figure it out on your own, everything is explained and answered in the movie itself.
The acting is very good and the thrilling moments keep you engaged throughout the movie.
The only flaws I would like to mention have some spoiler, the wife is shown very smart. She figures out everything so quickly but still decides to play dedective for so long instead of taking any action. She is as much responsible for the end we get, if she would have taken any action or involved police as soon as aunt phorn was disappeared she would have been able to save her.
Secondly if it was that easy for ratree to convert aunt phorn into her cult then why she didn't do that with ning or kwin. So these are some loopholes. Apart from that it's a good movie.

Losing
kosmasp17 August 2023
No pun intended - it is hard to accept certain aspects of life - one in particular, which is death. The finality - something I thought no one was thinking about when I was a kid - because no one was talking about it. But would it make sense driving ourselves crazy about something that we can not avoid? Something that is inevitable? Even stranger or harder when it is for loved ones.
How do you cope with grief, how can you move on? Or can't you? And will someone exploit that? All things that can play a role in a horror movie - and do in really good ones too. This has quite a few twists ready for you - it is about multiple generations ... and it is about more than one perspective ... why would people do what they do? Well you are about to find out ... well told and edited and acted ... I did not expect this to be as good as it actually is ...

If you seek a blend of suspense, terror, and emotion, I wholeheartedly suggest this movie. In my opinion, it's a perfect 10/10. I was pleasantly surprised by how flawlessly the movie unfolded without any letdown. This film has my heartfelt admiration!

I found this movie on netflix and i have to say, it's one of the best films i've seen in recent years, especially when compared to the god-awful mess that usually passes for horror/thriller.
Great story, well paced, great cinematography, suspenseful, immersive.
So much so in fact that after a while i stopped noticing that i was reading subtitles (i do hope there is a dub forthcoming)
i haven't seen many thai movies before, but "home for rent" has motivated me to keep an eye on thai cinema in the future.
If you only watch one movie this year, make it "home for rent".
An absolute must-see for any fan of the genre.
