The Pet is a 2007 film that centers on a young couple named Amelia and Thom, who seem to have the perfect life. They have a loving marriage, a beautiful home, and good jobs, but they feel that something is missing. Amelia is unable to have children, which is something that weighs heavily on both of them. One day, while browsing through a pet store, they come across a strange, exotic-looking creature that they have never seen before. The creature is small, furry, and resembles a cross between a lizard and a kangaroo. Intrigued, they decide to take it home as a pet.

As they quickly discover, however, their new pet is not what it seems. It possesses amazing, otherworldly powers that allow it to perform incredible feats, such as healing injuries and even bringing the dead back to life. Excited by the possibilities, Amelia and Thom soon become obsessed with their new pet, taking it with them everywhere they go and experimenting with its incredible abilities.

However, their obsession with the pet soon begins to take a toll on their relationship. Thom becomes increasingly distant and preoccupied, while Amelia begins to lose touch with reality, becoming increasingly obsessed with the creature and what it represents. Ultimately, their relationship begins to unravel, and they must confront the dark, dangerous consequences of their actions.

The Pet is a tense, psychological thriller that explores the dangerous consequences of obsession and desire. The film seamlessly blends elements of science fiction and horror, creating a uniquely unsettling atmosphere that draws the viewer in and keeps them on edge. The creature itself is a fascinating creation, with incredible, seemingly magical powers that are both enticing and chilling.

The performances in The Pet are strong across the board. Pierre Dulat delivers a compelling turn as the troubled Thom, while Andrea Edmondson brings depth and nuance to the character of Amelia. Summer Napoles also delivers a captivating performance as the voice of the creature, imbuing it with a sense of otherness and otherworldly power.

One of the strongest aspects of the film is its atmosphere. Director D. Stevens creates a haunting, surreal world that is both alluring and frightening. From the strange, dreamlike sequences to the dark, foreboding tone, The Pet keeps the viewer on edge throughout its runtime.

Overall, The Pet is a captivating, thought-provoking film that will leave viewers with plenty to ponder long after the credits have rolled.
