Personally I love a psychological horror flick that doesn't give the game away right at the outset. Pimped managed to create loads of intrigue earlier on and had enough twists to keep me guessing throughout. Beautifully shot and very well cast. Loved it. Definitely worth seeing this film.
"A stylish subversive treat, a bon-bon spiked with ground glass..." - FilmInk
"Utterly, creepily convincing" - The Australian
"Slick ripper...thriller" - Jim Schembri 3AW
This film is not for everyone. It's a highly stylised genre piece, which asks the audience to think more ... to consider what if? Who can you really trust, who do you really know? Fans of "You" will enjoy the psycho thriller aspect, fans of "Gotham" will enjoy seeing Benedict Samuel (Mad Hatter) wrecking havoc. Read the critic reviews - they get the themes and discuss in an intriguing manner.

Two housemates, Lewis and Kenneth, befriend a young woman, Sarah. Their motives are selfish and malevolent but seemingly-fragile Sarah might just have a surprise or two in store for them.
I had low expectations before watching this but was impressed initially and with the plot development. Some interesting, unexpected turns of events, gritty violence, a tight plot and dark atmosphere made for reasonably compelling watching.
Unfortunately, however, writer-director David Barker could not sustain the quality throughout (despite the short running time) and things fizzle out towards the end. A great pity as it promised so much at one stage. Ultimately it is quite disappointing.

It's not often I wish a movie wouldn't end but that's exactly how I felt at the rather abrupt conclusion to Pimped. Which is funny because the opening 20 minutes didn't pull me in at all, but then out of the blue this movie revs up and keeps motoring on pleasingly and Ella Scott Lynch is the main reason for this, her character Sarah displaying all the hallmarks of being a mentally disturbed, dangerous young lady. The execution in this is amazingly effective and I wanted to see more but it ends after 75 minutes which was disappointing because we don't know how things pan out for Sarah.
It's a rape revenge type of thriller that spins off in an unexpected direction and had me wondering what would happen next. Clever movie making, excellent direction and some funny bits mixed in, makes for a titillating viewing experience that I really didn't want to end. That and the first 20 knocks it back so I'll settle for a respectable rating of 6 stars.

Fair writing. Grisly, with some mild humor. Lots of muscles on the heroine; who is the typical 21st century "strong" female etc. I suppose we should believe that rapists deserve death. At least we're supposed to.
