Review of Pets (1973) by Senor C — 03 May 2012
A little disappointed in Pets as I thought this was going to be a much sleazier film w/ women sold into human bondage & kept as people pets. Although an exploitation film it does play a lot of elements very close to the chest.
Can't overtly be disappointed w/ what you don't get though & for what it is Pets is mildly entertaining Drive-In/Grindhouse. Candice Rialson is a no skilled sex pot that runs away from he abuse old man who gets a job posing for a lesbian artist Joan Blackman.
She becomes bored w/ the tedium of Blackman's undying affections because she needs real dick & ends up fucking a burger who breaks into the house. Blackman's green eyed monster shine through causing Rialson to run into the arms of 'art lover' Berry Kroeger who breaks her spirit & keeps her in a cage as his pet.
Even w/ this plot Pets takes far too long to get to the true meat & potatoes even @ it's a little long in the tooth running time & should have trimmed some of the fat & been a true exploitation film.
A lot of missed opportunities but what actually is there isn't bad.
