Wordiezett So much average

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Red-Barracuda I recently saw the film American Mary which was directed by the Soska Twins. I was pretty impressed, as it was quite an interesting and fairly original horror concoction. With this in mind I had to see their debut movie, the brilliantly titled Dead Hooker in a Trunk. Well, after seeing it, all I can say is that they definitely got a lot better. In fairness, this movie seems to have been made on an ultra-low budget, we're taking peanuts here. But even cutting the Soska's some slack on this front, that doesn't change my view that Dead Hooker in a Trunk is a really terrible movie.Its plot-line is certainly high-concept - four friends find a dead hooker in the trunk of their car. That's it more or less. A strong story is certainly no requirement in a good film but a movie needs to get other things right in the absence of one. And on a technical and artistic level this is an abomination. It has terrible camera-work and sound; really bad acting and an awful script. It's overall just too amateurish to offer very much to anybody. I am nevertheless pleased that these two Canadian sisters have gone on to do better things – as apart from anything else, there should be more women directors out there – but this debut just isn't good on any level I am afraid.

B Perez This movie is fun. And a ride.Which makes it a fun ride.Relying more on creativity than budget, Dead Hooker In A Trunk, follows the exploits of a group of friends (highlighted by twin sisters, who also directed) throughout a day of pure madcap madness after finding (drumroll) a Dead Hooker in a Trunk.The violence is over the top, characters lose eyes and limbs...AND KEEP GOING and the quips and one liners never stop...and I mean NEVER.Has to be seen to be believed. Pick it up.No, I meant it. Pick it up.

drdeathforpresident one word describes this - terrible. I am being nice here too. This mindless garbage should not be seen by human eyes. The acting is as good as a high school play. The script has so many 'F' words in it that you can't possibly follow this. The sisters have mass issues - one being their hatred towards all men. The only male lead is the biggest wuss in all cinema. He makes Charlie Brown look like Rambo. How many times do we have to see the dude vomit? I get it already. All the main character does is swear and act like she is bigger then the man upstairs. What world is this? I had to turn this stinker off midway because my brain started to hurt.

jackmeat Yes, that is the title.I went in blind on this one and let me tell you how glad I am I watched this. This is an indie horror/action movie that screams "soon to be cult classic" written all over it. Mark my words, Sylvia and Jen Soska are completely on their ways to stardom. Another prediction like that I made was after seeing "Bad Taste" by Peter Jackson. No one believed me then, but I am sure they do now. So the first full length feature film by the twisted twins is here. This movie starts out with a couple kids witnessing their mother shot, and one of the kids shoots the assailant. Fast forward to adulthood with the twins and their "friend" head out on their routine drug pickup, only to discover a dead hooker in the trunk after a long night of partying. Unsure if they did it or not, they decide to dump the body. This little plight adds the geeky sisters bible thumping boyfriend along for the ride. This leads the group of 4 onto a trip through hell that includes all forms of mayhem and violence involving crooked cops,chainsaw wielding gang members,a sadistic serial killer, the list goes on. To say this movie goes over the top is an understatement, and for having no budget, it is astounding. Taking a page out of Carlos Gallardo and Robert Rodriguez's book by making a movie by doing everything yourself, be it, writing, directing, producing, editing, starring, and probably more. The nice touch was Carlos Gallardo appearing in a cameo as G-d in the movie as well. The whole movie moves at a "what the hell will they do next" pace which leads to a ride of a film that you won't soon forget Gore, guts, blood, all plenty of and done with the b-budget crafting perfectly so it isn't distracting by looking fake. And none of that cgi BS used as well. The acting was there to move from scene to scene and i don't think the twins were shooting for any Oscars either. The scenery is basically local areas of Vancouver, so not much to be said there. The story is straight forward and definitely original. I wouldn't be reviewing if I just spouted all the good, the continuity of this film has some issues. Almost to the point of distracting. I won't point out my major gripe there since that would be a spoiler but you will know it when you see it. And trust me, this is a movie you want to see, especially if you are interested in knowing about some soon to be big names in cinema. Scroll down a few messages for a link to their production studios site and see what else is coming up. I have to rate this accordingly without my bias of just how much I loved what they pulled off, and that is a 6.2/10 IMDb 4.2 This is a big descrepancy which I expected, but not everyone appreciates a true grindhouse horror type movie and this one delivers ! Don't pass it up. Bonus, strange quirk such as "Bad Taste" had since in that movie there was NOT a single female. In "DHIAT", I noticed I had just watched a movie that not a single character had a name.BTW, Happy Birthday, Soska twins, today you are 30.
