Okay, before we begin, there are a few things that need to be straightened out. There are going to be a few keywords that are going to 'jump' out at you from this article. Words like, "Hooker", and words like, "Hot Identical Twins From Canada", if you focus on these terms, you will certainly miss the point of this story....and none if us want that.
Also, if you go on the title of this movie, "Dead Hooker In A Trunk", by itself, you will probably envision famous scenes from other films like, "8 Heads in a Duffel Bag", the dead hooker in a bed scene from the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez comedy "Four Rooms" and of course, the 'Dead N****R Storage' scene from "Pulp Fiction". Again these thoughts will miss-lead you.
If, by chance, you look at the above image and it conjures up memories of the modern horror classic, "Shallow Grave", which starred Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who) and Ewan McGregor (Obi Wan), then you are at least on the right track.
All distractions aside, what this article is really about is the new indie thriller called "Dead Hooker In A Trunk". The film is creative collaboration of the identical twin sisters, Jen and Sylvia Soska (aka The Twisted Twins), who wrote, directed, produced and starred in it.
I say it again, 'The women in the independent horror movie biz work harder than anybody else in the industry."
Here is the plot:
Set in beautiful Vancouver, 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 left in their trunk.
Lead by a sexy, impulsive Badass (Sylvia Soska), her distant Geek twin sister (Jen Soska), their bible thumping, Jesus loving Goody Two Shoes friend (CJ Wallis), and a chaotic, rockstar Junkie pal (Rikki Gagne), the group has to put aside their differences to dispose of the body before they're next.
Thrown into their own personal purgatory, 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 a mysterious Cowboy Pimp (John Tench) who wants to claim the corpse for his own.
Will they uncover the truth behind the body and be able to stand up to their demons? Buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life filled with gun fights, extreme violence, blood, guts, gore, and goats!
Dead Hooker In A Trunk is the unexpected first feature film written and directed by identical twin sisters, Jen and Sylvia Soska. The newcomers created an impossible film that is an underground sensation, destined to be a cult classic and will make you fall in love with films again!
Okay, that last part is a bit pretentious, but when you throw everything you have into a film, like the Soska twins have, you obviously have a lot of pride in what you've created, so we can cut them some slack.
