Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

meghana-meggy I just finished watching this movie, just because I found it on some site listed as one of the "Top ten best B.D.S.M. movies" but I regret watching it. I now realize how few movies have actually been made about the alternate lifestyle that even this shitty excuse for a movie had to be listed as one of the 10 best and this realization makes me sad. The review I am writing is from the viewpoint of a person who has been involved in the alternate lifestyle for more than 2 years and I will not be commenting about the human trafficking aspect of the movie as I do not possess adequate knowledge about human trafficking and slave trade.**** Spoilers ahead ******************The problems I had with the movie are following: 1. A person does not get a slave just because his dog died. That's insulting because that is comparing a human being and an animal. 2. A master/Dominant does not "play fetch" with his slave. She is not a dog, you idiot!!!!!!!!!!!3. The reason that the female lead starts serving her master/Dom seems as though she is doing it for money and this lifestyle is not something that you can do for money. There needs to be a lot more emotional connection and a lot more clarity of consensus between the sub- dom/master-slave for it to be classified as an alternate lifestyle or B.D.S.M., which was obviously missing between the leads, which I don't know if I should blame on bad acting or bad writing. But if emotion and consensus are lacking in such relationships, then it simply isn't BDSM. It's slavery/abuse/prostitution/human rights violation, which is not B.D.S.M.3. The most important thing that is W-R-O-N-G with this movie is- A master/dominant takes care of his slave/sub. So a thoughtful master would never ever let his partner eat just a handful of food from his hand and drink just a few sips of water a day after making his partner work and run and crawl all day. A good master/Dom would never let his partner be naked in a snowy place no matter what because that's dangerous to the slave/sub's health. A good master/Dom would not let his slave sleep in such a small cage every night after making her crawl all day, since at least at night the slave/sub would need to straighten her legs or it might be damaging to her knees and health. All this is not alternate lifestyle. It is torture and ignorance on the master/Dom's part. This is very very wrong and portrays the lifestyle as something it isn't. B.D.S.M. is not torture!!!!!Having said all this, the really bad acting and the non existent script are not the worst aspects of the movie, but the whole idea behind the movie is. The makers should have done their homework before making this extended porn movie. W-A-I-T!! Calling this porn is an insult to porn because this "video" ain't even arousing to say the least. I gave it 2 stars, 1- for "only trying" to make something about human trafficking 2- for the female actresses who had to go naked all through the video. Even if they are paid for it, being in this kind of movie is not worth it. And Andrea Edmondson at least tried to act. Her acting is the only thing remotely bearable in the video and it's not an achievement.Comparing this movie with the likes of Secretary is also an insult to Secratary because it is like comparing a video(The Pet) with a movie (The Secretary)

tomandhuck This is a great film. It would horrify so-called feminists, because it takes a really sexy, hot, princess type girl, strips her down naked for most of the film, puts a collar on her, brands her, dehumanizes her, makes her crawl on all fours, fetch sticks, run naked down the road, kiss guys shoes, be called "it", made to bark like a dog and kept in a cage. Wow. Excellent. And it also has another hot Asian girl,Sommer Ngyuen, in the same position. She was the casting director and she obviously purposely cast herself as the naked slave girl by her own choice. And didn't you see the hot Hispanic maid, Magi Avila's sexy character, looking wistfully, and jealously at GG and longing to be collared and totally humiliated and owned like that? The movie is a total psychological erotic head trip, especially for women. At first I hated it, but had to go back and watch again and again and just try to imagine what made a hottie like Andrea Edmondson want to totally strip off like that, and debase herself in such a deliciously humiliating way? She single handedly sets feminism back 500 years or more. It is quite something to see. And it really shows the vision of the future as imagined by the rich people of today - a world in which there are masters with money and human dogs to be lead around on leashes and controlled completely. I imagine this will be a kind of cult classic as the world falls further and further into neo-feudalism. As the guy in the film says - doesn't it feel so 'free' to be naked in the snow with an electric dog collar, fetching sticks for the entertainment of amoral rich people? Plenty of people in America probably agree and I imagine that a lot of people, including feminists, have a subconscious desire to find themselves 'free' of all requirements to think or worry about anything and in this kind of very erotic, submissive position.It definitely shows a dark, often subconscious and feared to be admitted side of human psychology. My only complaint is that it didn't go deeper. They tried to show Edmonson in a state of total complete submission, but I think she didn't go as far or as deep as she, or the audience really probably wanted.

carvohi The movie The Pet has an intriguing premise, but it fails in some important ways. They have a terrific young actress in Barbara Edmondson who delivers just the right amount of innocence and pluck. She was very good. Her character gets off to a good start, but unwinds as the story progresses. She just doesn't get enough to say, especially later in the movie when we most want to hear her. The end left me flat.The story was about a pet, the complications that arose were interesting, even tense at times, but we lose sight of our heroine, and the conversation lines were often too weak. I felt like the writers lost sight of what they wanted to do; some serious outside input for later scenes would have made this a great story.They could have done more with this story; they certainly had the right actress for it. I'd recommend the movie just to watch her; not for the nudity but for her interesting delivery.

LngElgntLegs I watched this movie with a group last night who is familiar with BDSM. Personally, I feel the movie did BDSM an injustice. If I did not know better I would think that in order for someone to become involved in a "power exchange," they would have to be enticed with big money or some reason other than their need to be in a supportive and loving environment. A true BDSM relationship involves a "power exchange" which comes from the person's need to submit, a gift of submission to their Master or Dominant. By mixing in the slave trade it only misinformed those who have no knowledge of this type of relationship, and who try to use fear tactics to make us look as if we are a danger to society. In no way did I feel that the movie showed any type of a growing relationship that would justify anyone giving up the degree of control that was displayed. Her devotion was bought and paid for.One comment from the audience was that the acting was comparable to a porno flick. Being knowledgeable as to the true relationships involved in BDSM we could see through the errors. For someone not familiar, it would only make them think that BDSM is a horrible thing. I would not recommend this movie to anyone outside of the BDSM scene.
