Pet (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter The film is engrossing, thanks to the director's skill at delivering sustained tension, and the excellent performances. Dec 6, 2016 Full Review Pet (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Pet sputters and pants its way to a kind of twist, one that's genuinely misogynist on the one hand but also too cretinous to be authentically repellent. Rated: .5/4 Dec 2, 2016 Full Review Pet (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Alex McLevy AV Club The films zigs where you expect a depraved zag, resulting in a smart and unsettling tale ... Dec 1, 2016 Full Review Pet (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jorge Loser Espinof Monochrome dialogue pieces contrast with forced moments of emotion and it is at that moment that we wonder if the film would not have worked better as a more explicit parody. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 15, 2019 Full Review Pet (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting Best viewed as a wacky horror romance filled with enough gallows humor to satiate the Coen Brothers. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Pet (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Derek Deskins Next Projection The tension ratchets up spectacularly and your blood pressure rises in the anticipation of what may lie behind the next corner.

Hélio J Ótimo filme!Começa lento aparentando ser mais do mesmo,mas, possui um plot twist fantástico.O final é chocante! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Jeremy A Another girl trapped by a creepy guy. Had a cool twist to this version 4* Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Mara N I loved it! It’s a nice twist on the “creep kidnapping a helpless girl” trope. Very refreshing in my opinion. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Farshad S Bad! do not recommended Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Math C Hum, par où commencer? Je ne m'attendais pas à grand chose, et j'ai été agréablement surpris. La détresse d'un homme près à tout pour l'amour, la manipulation avec les pêchés de chacun, beau travail. La psychologie des 2 personnages principales dans ce film est la seule chose qui est réellement perturbante. L'ambiance est correcte, au mieux bonne. !SPOILER! On découvre une victime pire que son geôlier, et ça, ça fait toujours plaisir dans ce genre de film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Regina P Well... it was a movie, that's for sure. And it wasn't the worse movie. It kept me watching, so points for that. The photography was a decent quality. The acting was decent as well. So, yes, a movie that fulfilled the requirements of a decent production. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
