Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

glphil All right... compared to "Citizen Cane" or "Mutiny on the Bounty", it might be a couple of stars... but it's not supposed to be a serious grand epic.To think the Soska Sisters made this movie in film school for $2500, IMHO, they deserve an academy award. Warner Bros or Universal, couldn't even get a van on location for that! What the hell do you haters & whiners expect?Yes, it contains gratuitous, cartoonish, over the top gore and violence, BUT THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE GENRE! I found the movie hilarious, fast paced and extremely entertaining.When rating a movie, I believe it is only fair to consider such factors as budget and genre. To really dog a movie like this, is like dogging a 1963 VW Bug compared to 2014 Porsche. It just ain't fair. For these reasons I rate "Dead Hooker in a Trunk" 8 out of 10 stars...

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.

Josh Sweet This seems to be a film that divides people into the camps of rabid critics or excitable supporters. "Dead Hooker in a Trunk" was one that interested me because of the unique title, and when I watched it I was strangely compelled. Twins "Badass" and "Geek", along with their friends, discover that the body of a hooker is in their car, and they begin to panic, as two of them ("Badass" and "Junkie", the characters are never named) reveal that they don't remember anything about the previous night. So "Badass" leads the group on a quest to ditch the body, all the while arguing with her twin sister and her friend "Goody Two Shoes" about their lives and what they should do. Things get complicated with the arrival of the police, a mysterious man dressed as a cowboy, an unknown serial killer in a hoodie, and the fact that their hooker may not be as dead as she seems... The film should descend into madness and incoherency at this point, but the Soska sisters manage to maintain a good pace throughout, with the 4 lead characters all strong enough to pull off what is required which is more than a simple blood and gore fest. It mixes elements of a thriller with a B-Slasher movie, road-movie and plenty of comedy. The old-school gore effects have a sweet nostalgia to them, the villains are actually genuinely menacing, and the entire exercise just about manages to hold itself together. The mood does whiplash occasionally, with the light-hearted antics of the crew suddenly being cut short with "Junkie" losing her arm to the Yakuza and "Badass" and "Geek" torturing a man to death in a surprisingly brutal and effective scene, though this adds to the experience rather than detracting from it. That said, there are moments when one can tell that this is their first film, with wobbly camera-work and sometimes clunky dialogue, but it is a highly polished and frequently amusing first attempt, topped off with a really cool cameo from Carlos Gallardo, and a very good soundtrack that fits the tone perfectly. Certainly a film to look at if you want a bit of fun.

dopestarrrr i don't know where to begin... this movie is such a huge waste of time. thank god i did not pay any money to see this.i got tricked into watching it by reading a review on IMDb by someone who obviously is related to this flick somehow or is just some crazy feminist who is into this piece of *beep".if i had realized that the 2 girl "directors" are also acting the 2 lead roles, i would not have given it any chance.its just a cheap form of profiling themselves. they maybe think that the over-use of profane language (the f-word appears in almost every sentence and is just way off) and very, very, VERY cheap gore-effects are somehow funny, but they are not. this movie is not one of those movies that are "so bad that they are good again", its truly just rubbish.every male-role in this movie is portrayed by a "uber-feminist-lesbian-view" compared to the almighty girl-power of the three lead "actors". and thats what my girlfriend said about this movie, and she is very emancipated.this is my first review here, simply because it has been a REALLY long time since a movie "p*****" me of that much.the editing is crap, the dialogs are bad, it lacks any form of logic and is just a cheap shot at being funny by 2 man-hating women. i go as far as to say this is a movie for angry women, by angry women.
