Dead Hooker In A Trunk (2009)

Have you ever been skull-fucked after an ass rape? This is one of the many perplexing question posed by Twisted Twins "Dead Hooker In A Trunk". Identical Twins Jen, and Sylvia Soska wrote, directed, produced, and starred in this wildly dark, and comedic horror/comedy that delivers what the title promises. The twins play, well... twins, whom are the polar opposite of one another. The story follows the sisters, and two of their friends, after they find a dead hooker in the trunk of their car after a long night of partying. Everything that follows is complete insanity.

"Dead Hooker" does well to capture that "indie" feel of the mid to late 90's. If you're a fan of films like "Doom Generation" You're in for a treat with this one. The dialog is sharp, and funny, and well delivered by all involved. The violence is depraved, and plentiful. A special thanks goes out to the filmmakers for using practical FX, even though it's quickly becoming cheaper, and easier to go the CG route.

Before you put this film in the DVD player, ask yourself, are you actually a fan of indie film? Or do you just like low budget studio flicks that are teetering on the indie line? This definitely isn't a movie for the mainstream audience, which is sad, but true. I think if anyone that enjoys a fun movie would give "Dead Hooker" a chance, they'll have a fun time, but sadly some people have a hangup on the look and feel of a movie. Does it look low budget? Of course it does, but they did a really good job with what they had to make it look as professional as possible, and at no time throughout the flick did the budget hinder the fun I was having.

C.J. Wallis as "Goody Two-Shoes" delivers some of the funniest lines in the movie. He's got the choir boy act down to a T, so when he goes on one of his F-Bomb tirades, it makes it that much more enjoyable. As a whole, the film features some of the funniest dialog I've heard for a while. How many other movies can you hear the term "cock-punch" used? The Soska sisters are funny, and sexy as hell. You can go ahead and sign me up for any future projects that they have sloshing around in those sick brains of theirs.

Thinking back, I only had one small complaint throughout the entire film. In a couple of scenes, there seemed to be what I could only describe as odd editing choices. Once or twice, it felt like the scene cut abruptly. It didn't take away from the experience at all, it just felt kind of odd. This is a minor complaint though, and this still remains to be one of the funnest times I've had watching a flick for as long as I can remember. Get a group of friend together, grab a beer(or your bong) and prepare to have fun, something that the rest of the world has apparently forgotten about.

7.5/10
