Editorial Reviews

Four friends set out on an everyday errand and end up in a fight for their lives when they discover the body of a dead hooker in their trunk. Lead by sexy, impulsive Badass, her distant twin sister Geek, their bible-thumping friend Goody Two Shoes, and chaotic rock star pal Junkie, the group must put aside their differences to dispose of the body as they face off against persistent police, a sleazy motel manager, chainsaw-wielding triads, and a brutal serial killer. All the while they are followed by the mysterious Cowboy Pimp who wants to claim the corpse for his own. Identical twin sisters Jen and Sylvia Soska wrote, directed and produced this explosive ride filled with gun fights, extreme violence, blood, guts, gore, and goats.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Exploitation Masterpiece -- Action, Mayhem, & Black Comedy! December 5, 2011

By Matt R. Jones

Format:DVD

First caught this at the 2010 Drunken Zombie Film Festival, and was blown away by how much friggin' fun this movie is.

Dead Hooker In A Trunk is a modern spin on the exploitation film and will be instantly recognizable to people who want their movies hard, fast, and mean -- with a fistful of black comedy thrown in for good measure. Jen and Sylvia Soska clearly enjoyed the heck out of themselves while putting together this crazy, no-punches-pulled piece of independent cinema, and it shows.

Not a lot of plot involved -- it's a bada**, geek, addict, and goody two-shoes trying to dispose of a dead hooker found in the bada**'s trunk... the origin of said hooker, unknown. On the way, eyes will be knocked out, arms will be yanked off, and even being dragged by a horse won't stop this dysfunctional gang from getting rid of the hooker... and exacting bloody revenge on those who screw with them in the process!

Amoral, vicious, and firmly tongue-in-cheek, Dead Hooker In Trunk isn't for fans of slickly-crafted, PG-13 Hollywood fare... this is a dirty little film that'll make you sit up and say, "OH S#@T!" throughout. It's a delightful throwback to the days when you could make a straightforwardly, unapologetically sleazy movie brimming with personality that exists solely to entertain its audience and raise a lot of eyebrows along the way.

Jen and Sylvia did good -- HIGHLY recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the biggest let down in years! April 17, 2013

By Victor

Format:DVD

I was really looking forward to this. I had heard good things. Bur after finally viewing it, I honestly feel like I was robbed of 90 minutes of my life. 90 minutes that I can get back.

Awful, cheap effects, bad acting, a horrible soundtrack, unfunny, obvious jokes, unlikable characters and a sloppy mess of a plot. There is literally nothing positive that I can say about this movie. The Soska Sisters have gotten this reputation as the next big thing, but I'm starting to think that it's simply because the idea of horror-loving attractive twins might appeal to genre fanboys. This movie surely doesn't justify any praise they've received.

Dead Hooker in a Trunk is a great name and makes you think you're in for some fun neo-grindhouse fare, but it's just awful in every regard. It was extremely difficult to even get through all 90 minutes. I admire Jen and Sylvia Soska for their attempt and hard work, but the reality is that there are Troma films that look like genuine masterpieces compared to this mess.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Can You Believe They Made American Mary?" February 21, 2013

By The Brock Lesnar of Reviewing - The Most Hated

Format:DVD

I know I'm late to the party as far as "Dead Hooker In A Trunk" goes, I barely watched it recently and can't lie, I couldn't even finish it, I disliked it, allot. When it comes to independent amateur film making "Dead Hooker In A Trunk" is just that and when I say amateur I mean amateur. I love the Soska Sisters and eagerly await the future of their film making careers but with this one I have to pass.

The film itself is filled with violence and all the good things that come along with it, we also receive allot of bad acting and dialogue not to mention it looks like the film was shot with a personal handheld camera. I love me some violence but find it hard to watch something that is plagued with said problems, it ruins the whole movie for me. Now even though I disliked this film it does not mean you will, hell look at all the positive reviews here on amazon about it, 4 star rating even which blows my mind!

I find it hard to believe the same twins that made "American Mary" also made this, its like night and day when you compare the two. Anyhow I'm sure I'll catch some kind of flak for this review from hardcore Soska fans but it is what it is, if you can skip this and watch "American Mary" do so because its far superior in every way possible, it was by far my favorite horror movie of 2012 and there you can see the twins true talent on display!
