Pretty Thing

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.

Sophie spots Elliot at a party where he is working as a waiter. She spends the night with him and for their second date, she takes him to Paris. Elliot is an awkward loner, living with his sick mother and has no friends. He quickly gets obsessed with Sophie and believes they are meant to be together. However, Sophie loses interest in him and moves on, leading to a break up Elliot isn't ready to accept. He becomes her stalker and tries to torment her. How does she solve this problem of her's, forms rest of the story.

It's a confused screenplay that doesn't want to be an erotic thriller entirely but also wants to play it safe by not wanting to paint Elliot as an outright creep. What's normal Sophie is something extraordinary for him and he doesn't have any history of violence. But these are just passed off as mere information and the writing doesn't try to explore this aspect. To makes matters worse, their relationship isn't steamy enough to set the obsessive story and the chemistry between them just doesn't work. Elliot is turned into an easy problem to solve for Sophie yet the stalking game gets dragged for too long and the abrupt climax simply showcased how clueless the writers got by the end. Pretty Thing suffers from a tedious screenplay and doesn't have a single redeeming quality in it's entire runtime.

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 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.

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.
