390. Pets (1974)

October 29, 2014

Sometimes I'm just in the mood for an exploitative film that is essentially about nothing. 'Pets' was basically about nothing and at the same time it was about a lot of things at once. A young girl gets abused by her brother and runs away, when she meets another young girl and the two of them steal a man's car. The second girl drives the car to the man's house and steals his money while the first girl watches the man. The man gets as raped as a man can get by a beautiful woman, so... good for him, I guess. Then the girl gets picked up by an artist who lets her live with her if she just allows her to paint her portrait. A man breaks into their house and the girl keeps him in her room to have sex with him because she is tired of having sex with the painter and she just wants a man. The painter freaks out and the girl escapes and runs off to be with an eccentric and super-rich art dealer who desires to keep all women as pets in his home. He wants to keep the painter too, so he goes after her but the girl has other tricks up her sleeve. So, in summary, this movie was so all over the place that it almost didn't work, but I really liked it.
