Pet

Pet (2016) is a dark psychological thriller that explores the blurred lines between love, obsession, and control. Directed by Carles Torrens and written by Jeremy Slater, this American horror-thriller tells the disturbing story of Seth, a lonely animal shelter worker who runs into Holly, a former high school crush. After multiple failed attempts to win her over, Seth takes an extreme turn—he kidnaps her and keeps her locked in a cage beneath the shelter where he works.

Over its gripping 1 hour and 34 minutes runtime, Pet (2016) keeps viewers on edge with a twisted plot, psychological tension, and unexpected turns. What starts as a standard abduction narrative quickly evolves into a more complex and unsettling game of power, where victim and captor may not be who they seem.

With an oppressive atmosphere and strong performances—especially from Dominic Monaghan and Ksenia Solo—Pet (2016) stands out in the genre by focusing on the psychological depth of its characters. It’s not just another horror film; it’s a chilling reflection on manipulation, identity, and the roles people play to survive.
