Wil Wheaton (Star Trek -The Next Generation) is a bad friend in John Stevenson‘s new horror-thriller Rent-A-Pal, also starring Brian Landis Folins (Hoax).
Set in 1990, a lonely bachelor named David (Brian Landis Folkins) searches for an escape from the day-to-day drudgery of caring for his aging mother (Kathleen Brady). While seeking a partner through a video dating service, he discovers a strange VHS tape called Rent-A-Pal. Hosted by the charming and charismatic Andy (Wil Wheaton), the tape offers him much-needed company, compassion, and friendship. But, Andy’s friendship comes at a cost, and David desperately struggles to afford the price of admission.
Rent-A-Pal debuts in select theaters and lands on Digital, and Cable September 11, 2020, from IFC Midnight.
