Pretty Thing

I agree with other reviews that the ending was just meh. Nothing intriguing about it. What I find disconcerting is the review saying Elliot is "likable." He's a creepy incel stalker sociopath. There's absolutely nothing likable about him. Unfortunately Alicia Silverstone's character isn't developed at all, and so it's hard really rooting for her as well. No background, no real personality, poor Rachel Blanchard plays her sister for all of 3 minutes.

While the acting is decent and the plot gets interesting midway, it doesn't lead to an exciting climax. It passed the time with nothing else to watch but I wouldn't strongly recommend this one in any way.

Pretty Thing started off much better than I expected, since I was expecting some cheesy made for TV movie. Karl Glusman steals this film from Alicia Silverstone , with him playing an emotionally immature momma's boy and her playing a role usually reserved for men, a powerful, well off executive. The movie does a great job at explaining it's character's personalities and motivations, but I have to wonder if the people behind this intended to make the female character so unsympathetic and awful. While I enjoyed the film when it concentrated on Glusman's character, it all of a sudden switches to her point of view and goes downhill. Since his character is actually more likable and you feel for him, the movie just seems odd and the ending is genuinely a huge letdown. It's a shame they kind of dropped the plot, because the acting is excellent and the scenes are played in a very realistic way.

Will transport viewers to the late 80s n 90s erotic thriller but the ending ruined it.

One of the very best part is that the movie didn't take ur usual route of the married wife or married husband aka cheating spouses way.

Whenever I watch such kinda erotic thrillers i laugh a lot at the persistence of the stalker or one sided lover.

This movie is an example of a female empowerment stuff and at the same time showcases the socio economic disparity present.

I personally behaved like Elliot from this movie but I was 16 when I behaved like him wheras our Elliot is 33 who still lives with his mother.

The line: Roommate? He lives with his mom made me laugh and roll on the floor.

The lead actor gave a truly believable performance cos I had been there.

Alicia Silverstone looks very haggard. They shud have taken somebody else who was ready to go a bit nude.

Silverstone didn't even had the oomph factor or appeal at all.

Check it out if you like love stories with knife-sharp edges, where danger feels like foreplay and trust is just another tool for seduction.

Pretty Thing isn't your average romance - it's an erotic thriller with teeth. Think late-night cigarettes, lipstick on glassware, and secrets you only whisper in the dark.

Alicia is electric - every look, every pause, charged with danger and desire. Carl simmers just beneath the surface, unraveling in real time with a quiet, devastating intensity.

Come for the pretty faces, but stay for the slow-burn unraveling. It's messy, moody, and just the right kind of wrong.

A film for anyone who's ever fallen for someone they knew might ruin them - and liked it anyway.

PRETTY THING has a dark, psychedelic, and sensual atmosphere! The soundtrack and cinematography are excellent and help to create this atmosphere! The performances and chemistry between Karl GLUSMAN and Alicia SILVERSTONE are excellent! The film isn't perfect... but it's good entertainment with the iconic, beautiful, and sexy Alicia SILVERSTONE!

It's incredible how SILVERSTONE manages to be sexy without being vulgar! As for actor Karl GLUSMAN... I was impressed by his performance! At times, I empathized and understood his obsession with the character "Sophie"! Director Justin Kelly has delivered another fine work after the impactful KING COBRA.
