    • Trivia
      Mike Cartel, who played Candice Rialson's brother in the Pets film, assisted producer-director Raphael Nussbaum for the casting of the ingenue lead. Cartel acted in video-taped G-rated romantic scenes opposite some 20 actresses before Rialson was chosen for the part of Bonnie, and her first speaking role.

    Not bad considering the budget
    While "Pets" might be shelved among other "erotic thrillers", it's much too relaxed for that genre, and sexuality is generally portrayed as fun, not dangerous. Dangerous, here, is linked with possessiveness, and so the movie is firmly grounded in the 60s with their non-possessive ways. Also very 60ish - the meandering plot, with our "heroine" Bonnie (nice play) drifting through various more or less strange episodes and always getting some satisfaction out of it. The small scale of the production is clearly visible (sometimes painfully) and takes away some enjoyment, but overall Pets is a fun romp with very few boring moments and some real erotic tension without much sleaze.
