Featured reviews
"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.

Worth seeing; this film features a talented first time director and a great cast.
My only criticism would be that I wished it was longer!

Why they call it Pimped I have no clue, they could have called it anything else it wouldn't matter. Seeing the low ratings it got here I wasn't expecting too much of it. The beginning is a bit slow and you wonder what it's all about but the second part makes up for it so to me it's worth a watch. Don't expect award winning acting but it's certainly not bad either, far from that. To me it's worth a six star rating as a seven star rating is a good movie, not exceptional but that I would watch again. A six star rating is good but only for one viewing. Pimped is easy entertainment, nothing too difficult.
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.
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.
