Review of Puppy (2005) by Kristi M — 18 Jul 2017

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this but I'm pleasantly surprised. It is similar to Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down but this one is darker and portraying delusion in a creepy and realistic way. There are generally formulas in the tie me to the bed movies where it's either a form of torture or completely implausible that a relationship would form from it.

This one somehow manages to do that, flip the roles, and throw in a dash of Very Bad Things. Liz is extremely good at lying on the fly to get away with her bad deeds and then you somehow become sympathetic for her when she's using it to protect Aiden and using his delusion as an excuse of why he didn't remember so he really has no idea that she's lying.

Then just as the movie wraps up and lets you know that they lived "happily ever after" there's a sly punch in the last few frames that you just never saw coming.
