Baxter

Audience emotional responses are primarily driven by **Fear** and **Anxiety** as Baxter, the bull terrier, systematically eliminates his owners. The film is deeply **Disturbing** due to its unsettling premise of a pet as a calculated antagonist, leading to feelings of **Sadness** for the victims and **Surprise** at Baxter's cunning and escalating violence. There's also a significant element of **Empathy** for the unfortunate humans caught in Baxter's path and a pervasive **Melancholy** reflecting the film's dark exploration of companionship and control.
