Pets

About This Movie

So, 'Pets' is this gritty little drama from '73 that just oozes a vibe of disillusionment. You’ve got Bonnie, this naive runaway, and as she navigates through the underbelly of America, the film really captures that feeling of being adrift. It’s not flashy, but it’s raw—like the characters she meets; they’re all these bizarre figures who treat her more as an object than a person. The pacing is kind of languid, which really adds to the sense of confusion and desperation. The practical effects and performances, especially from the supporting cast, lend a certain authenticity. It has that unique charm of the underground films of its time, making it a fascinating watch for genre enthusiasts.

The film had a limited release and has since become somewhat of a rare find in collectors' circles. Most copies out there are likely to be obscure VHS or early DVD releases, which adds to its allure. Interest in the film fluctuates, leaning heavily on the appreciation for the offbeat and lesser-known films of the 70s. It’s definitely one to keep an eye on if you’re into that kind of underground cinema aesthetic.
