Review of Dead Hooker in a Trunk

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.
