Pimped

2018 Australian made mediocre thriller. A schizophrenic woman and a man who would kill for wealth meet at a bar. The man is actually pimping a rich man. He seduces the woman himself and offers it to the man. After that, things don't go as planned. Cheap acting, simple script. Everything is clear from the beginning. There is a love scene. --- spoilers --- Kenneth's parents can't ask, what are you doing in this house? --- spoilers ---

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.

Henry Lewis Blake (Benedict Samuel) picks up women for his less attractive roommate (Robin Goldsworthy). He picks up a Sarah (Ella Scott Lynch) who has mental issues and an imaginary alter-ego who eggs her on to be more daring. The evening did not go as planned for either one as it develops into a dark comedy where two people who distrust each other are forced to come together to cover up their misdeeds. It was a short film that was well done, although it lacked the one or two over-the-top scenes to carry the film to cult status. It does have a "Lynch" in it. Guide: F-word. sex. nudity (Ella Scott Lynch).
