‘Pet’ Poster Trapped in the Cage of Love (Exclusive)
Orion Pictures and Samuel Goldwyn Films have shared with Bloody Disgusting the theatrical poster for the psychological thriller Pet (read our review), directed by Carles Torrens and written by Jeremy Slater (“The Exorcist”, Fantastic Four).
The film stars Dominic Monaghan (“Lost”, The Lord of the Rings series), Ksenia Solo (In Search of Fellini, “Turn”), and Jennette McCurdy (“iCarly, Sam”, “Cat”), and had its World Premiere at the 2016 South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin.
In the vein of HARD CANDY and GONE GIRL, PET is a psychological thriller that deals with the themes of identity, loneliness, selflessness and what it means to truly belong to another. It’s told through the prism of two isolated people, Seth and Holly, seemingly different yet more similar than they even knew. PET is at its heart a dark love story that examines how much one is willing to sacrifice in the name of love.
Trace explained in his review that “Pet is best viewed as a wacky horror romance filled with enough gallows humor to satiate the Coen Brothers.”
Torrens tells Bloody Disgusting:
“PET’s a very twisted suspense thriller with quite a bit of dark humor and romance. Though dealing with some very dark material, we’ve approached it in a very accessible way, and hope it can be enjoyed by mature audiences everywhere.”
Orion Pictures and Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the film in U.S. theaters and on demand on December 2, 2016, and it will be available on DVD on December 27.

Simone Ashley (“Bridgerton”) stars as Mia, who awakens from a coma, grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions and her perception of reality.
In This Tempting Madness, “Mia awakens from a coma grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions, and her perception of reality.”
Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
