Movie Reviews of The Pet

Movie Review: Interesting, bdsm pet fetish.
Summary: 5 Stars

Good movie, would watch more than once.
A bit more of a European flavor setting, story line is about a girl who needs a job, becomes the 'pet' of a man who in turns gives her great love and care. Ending a bit on the sad side. Overall - i liked it.

Movie Review: This is how you make an erotic video
Summary: 5 Stars

The hottest movie I have seen since "The Image" and "Score" (both of which featured x-rated sex). This film demonstrates the difference between erotic videos and adult videos. I would not say it is well acted but the acting is good enough so that the movie is intensely erotic without any overt sexual activity. It is striking in its direct yet not in-your-face sexual attraction but in a different context, a different lifestyle. And because of this it is definitely not for everyone (as the mixed reviews indicate). If you find (or think you might find) voluntary submissiveness in and of itself erotic and appealing then this movie is definitely worthwhile. People who are actually into the "lifestyle" will probably find it to be much closer to reality than much of the southern California adult video offerings.

Movie Review: A little confused
Summary: 2 Stars

Steve's career as a photojournalist has given him sight of the realities of slavery. His photography reflects the harshness of brutal reality. It is no surprise that he seems to have not got a firm handle on the emotions of the lifestylers that chose this way of life. The lack of interpersonal emotion and, to a degree, the wooden acting can, I believe, be placed at the door of Steve's experiences. The dialogue should have been co-written as the conversation sequences were wrong and felt implausible and unreal and that problem should have been caught. The whole project felt rushed and has foot in neither the world of the lifestyler or the enforced slave.

Great locations, quality cinematography and the snow scene was enjoyable, but I wouldn't say that this represents many realities. The conflict scenes were not choreographed well, nor confrontational tension handled very well at all. Video effects and tension music had to be employed to convey any impact and this gave the project a very rushed feel. Also, people who are branded usually scream an awful lot more, straight from the heart, and usually pass out with the level of pain; that branch in her mouth would have been bitten in two - one example of taking a powerful situation to emphasise the impact of the circumstances and then only pawing at it half heartedly.

The overall timing and pace of the sequences just felt completely wrong. Sections where I was looking to invest my emotions were rushed or glossed over, and others which didn't have that much impact beyond sexual tittilation felt dragged out. In short, they had a wonderful opportunity but I felt they squandered it and I felt cheated as a result.

Movie Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars

i m very much into BDSM. I love this movie. It made me completely turned on and ready for scene play. The acting is well...not the greatest. However it can be over looked and you can really enjoy this movie. If not comfortable with BDSM this not a movie for you.

Movie Review: This movie will shock......your wallet
Summary: 1 Stars

Whoever pitched this idea to Tla and whoever approved the idea there needs to go back to film school. The trailer and the first part of the film actually are good, up to a point. A quality independent movie that suddenly degrades into a really cheap B-Movie.

The first part of the film is a pretty good and well thought out plotline of sorts; we get slightly introduced to the underground slave market theme abit, and then it goes to the main character trying to replace his lost pet. After a search, he courts a troubled yet eager young woman that is going thru a hard time and offers her a way out. We also see some inklings of the Underground Slave Trade, while are seamlessly tied into the main story.

Past the "training" sequences, the movie takes an abrupt and ridiculous turn, plus adds many confusing elements into a so far okay movie. The Underground Slave Market is portrayed as a ridiculous parody of more organized Slave Auctions in other forms of fiction, with a basement-level "command center" and a dismal selection of slaves. A subplot then is injected into the movie where other "Owners" wish to breakup the relationship between the man and pet.

I can see where the filmmakers were trying to make a semi-realistic movie, but in an effort to be abit more mainstream, they screwed-up on the story to the point of it being laughable. They try to paint a picture where this sort of thing happens on a daily basis, but fall short where it's needed in visual impact, only opting to allude to the horror via words. I think the movie suffers because of this.

There are better movies out there than this. Don't waste your money unless it's extremely cheap or used.
