Simply Perfect
Fresh and Exciting
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
I'll never get back the 1.5 hours of my life hat it took to watch this movie. She was locked in a cage with a lock that was a combination lock. She could have just spent a few hours trying 9999 combinations and gotten herself out.
Pet starts off as a regular B-movie psychological thriller about a kidnapping, and with a great twist in the middle, turns into something special. But something goes wrong shortly after the twist, the film doesn't deliver what it teases the audience for more than an hour. As if that twist has no consequences, and there is no definite climax. The idea is a breath of fresh air for the sub-genre, but it is poorly executed. Despite its dullness here and there, "Pet" is still worthwhile for the sake of the aforementioned twist and a must-watch for the fans of Dominic Monaghan.
The movie starts off suggesting it may be headed for interesting but familiar territory. In fact it seems to be on track to be a low-rent version of William Wyler's classic "The Collector". But no such luck. It quickly derails and eventually crashes in a heap of pointless and gruesome nonsense. Along the way it attempts to explore lofty ideas about will controlling destiny, or something like that, but falls far short. A nude scene or two (there are none) to replace some of the graphic violence might make this clunker easier on the eyes, but would not salvage it. Not even close.
As you can surmise from the title and cover art, this is a story about a man, Seth (Dominic Monaghan) who keeps his unwilling precious, Holly (Ksenia Solo) in a cage. What is slightly different is that he doesn't torture her, he wants to "save her" from herself. The cage is located underneath an animal shelter where Seth works, but is close to being terminated. The second twist is that the captive appears to be crazier than her captor, and then there is the question of who is really in control.The film was good for what it was in a crowded genre of "B" films. Claire (Jennette McCurdy) added a depth to this genre you don't normally see, making the film more of a psychological thriller than a horror.Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity.
