Open up the back and see if the tape looks ruined or dusty. If it's dusty try to blow it off. If it's twisted or crumpled, it's a goner. VHS tapes don't have an extremely long life span (especially rentals) so there's a chance it's just old, too.

I would bring it back to the store, tell them it doesn't work and get a free rental out of it at least.

Still pushin that chance to try
Your breath in this cool room chill
Long hair that blows side to side
You speak and make time stand still
And each time you walk right on by
