Pet is a psychological thriller film that was released in 2016. The movie is directed by Carles Torrens and was written by Jeremy Slater. It stars Dominic Monaghan, Ksenia Solo, and Jennette McCurdy. The movie follows the life of a lonely and socially awkward young man named Seth, who works as an animal shelter worker. Despite his efforts to maintain a social life, he is unable to form relationships with anyone. One day, he meets Holly, a former classmate whom he is infatuated with. To his disappointment, Holly rejects him, leaving him devastated.

Determined to get Holly's attention and affection, Seth takes drastic measures. He follows her to her workplace and kidnaps her. He keeps her locked up in a cage he had previously taken from the animal shelter he worked at. He pulls out all the stops to make Holly appreciate him, but she despises him for his actions.

The storyline of Pet becomes increasingly complex as it progresses. There are many twists and turns that keep the viewer interested throughout. While the beginning of the movie starts with a seemingly predictable storyline of a man obsessed with a woman, it turns out there are more factors involved than what meets the eye.

The acting in Pet is outstanding. Dominic Monaghan, playing the role of Seth, is highly convincing in his portrayal of socially awkward Seth. He is creepy and sadistic, making the audience feel uneasy and uncomfortable as they watch him in action. Ksenia Solo, portraying Holly's character, gives an excellent performance as well. She is brilliant in showcasing the emotions of a victim of kidnapping, and one can't help but feel sympathy for her.

The movie's cinematography and sound design are exceptional. The camera work is well done, and there is excellent use of color to show the contrasting emotions and motivations of the characters. The use of music is perfect, complementing the scenes' mood and amplifying the tension.

Pet may not be for everyone. It is a dark and disturbing movie that is hard to watch at times. However, those that enjoy psychological thrillers will appreciate the performance of the actors, the gripping storyline, and the skillful direction. The movie's twists and turns will keep viewers guessing, which may be equal parts frustrating and fascinating.

In conclusion, Pet is a movie that is worth the watch. It may not be the typical feel-good movie, but it is a psychological thriller that will captivate viewers' attention. The film's acting, cinematography, and story are well done and outstanding. Pet is a film that will keep the audience on the edge of their seat and leave them thinking about its twist and turns long after the movie has ended.
