Pretty Thing

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.

Having seen over 6000 movies / series - I think I'm a pretty good critic and open to new actors / actresses coming into the movie industry seeing that the older famous actors are starting to go.

The general acting was good, film work was good, it's not of the highest standard but overall good. I personally felt the movie moved too slowly going forward and not actually setting the scene up.

Story line could have been a little more exciting or maybe a twist. It's an erotic thriller but if you were looking for a fifty shades of grey your going to be disappointed and for thriller it would I guess lean more to a drama.

Ending could have been better or a twist at the end. I gave it a 5/10 seeing it was not great yet not terrible.

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.

The movie really nailed it , actors were top notch , no comedy things . Straight to the point . And the end seems a bit awkward (she is the one ). I hope they matched. Real love are for men, for women it does not matter. Psychic movie and a good one , everyone can enjoy it. Up and down movie, crazy duo, 2 different paths. Adventure type movie , drama, unpredictability , lies, sexual hypnotism. Addictive rough love. Mind control somehow horror movie . These 2 main actors deserve some more credit to stick to their acts . The whole story does not involve too many people and again really well put together movie overall.

The rating is even too generous - this film deserves no more than a 3/10 on IMDb, not 4.

First of all, there is absolutely no sense of dynamics: the runtime drags painfully with zero suspense, zero tension - everything is dull, flat, and monotonous, with nothing but uninspired bedroom scenes.

Secondly, it claims to be an "erotic thriller." What a joke. Dear casting directors, at least bother to choose actors who actually fit the format. Alicia Silverstone looks older than Jamie Lee Curtis in the latest Halloween films - and that completely kills any trace of "eroticism." Hollywood is full of actresses in their late 40s and 50s who still look stunning, magnetic, and convincing: Malin Åkerman, Rebecca Romijn, Natasha Henstridge - real women with charisma, magnetism, and fire. This is not her role. Instead, we're given a tired lead who doesn't fit the role at all.

Third, the stalker theme is beyond worn out. Here it's presented on the level of a mediocre daytime soap: no depth, no clever twist, no psychological tension whatsoever.

The plot is embarrassingly primitive, the directing weak, the casting a complete misfire.

Final verdict: a worthless imitation of an "erotic thriller" that has neither eroticism nor thrills. Strongly not recommended.
