It was a supreme honor to have DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK invited back and to hear that everyone had such a wonderful time. A very special thanks to Andrew and Dione Rose for their commitment to bringing indie work out of the underground and into the daylight. To see what's coming next, stay tuned here...
I love... no, that's no strong enough... I fucking love when we hear about people's experiences watching 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk'. On Thursday, November 11th at 12:45pm by Wales, England time, the film was playing at the Abertoir Horror Film Festival. A very warm thank you to Nia Edwards-Behi who not only introduced the piece this year but also was the first to bring the rotting corpse of a whore across the oceans to the fine folks in the UK and to all of you that fancied a spot of hooker and acted on it! In particular, today I'd like to send the warmest regards to Mr. James Plumb who was in attendance and had this to say about the film --
"Day two starts off with an Intro by Abertoir stalwart Nia Edwards-Behi for the engagingly titled “Dead Hooker in a Trunk”, a film which I’ve read a lot about on various social networking sites (such as this one) so I was excited to see if it lived up to its internet hype and its awesome title. I’m glad to report that the film exceeds both.
The natural evolution of grindhouse exploitation films, without resorting to adding aging effects to the footage, “DHIT” delivers on its tease of sleaze, muscle cars and ultraviolence. But its also a film with real heart, as you genuinely grow to care about the characters. Directed with amazing confidence by the Twisted Twins themselves, the Soska sisters, the only criticism I can muster is a muddy sound mix, which sometimes detracted from the fun on screen. That being said if you’re yearning for a mix of “Switchblade Sisters” and “Weekend at Bernie’s” then look no further!"
That kind of sentiment warms a pair of cold Canadian, twisted hearts. Thank you very kindly for those kind words, sir. We are honored to have had the film so well received - this is every little horror girls dream come true. Thank you to everyone who has seen it, wanted to see it, spread the word, and shared it with their friends. None of this would be possible without you.
Tomorrow, there will be a blood bath in Texas. 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk' will be playing at the Blood Bath 2 Film Festival in Dallas Texas. Get here details here, boys and girls. If you make it out, drop us a line and let us know what you thought. Fucking love hearing from you, boys and girls.
It's coming up so soon! 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk' returns to Texas to the North American festival that first showed the original cut -- Blood Bath 2. Now that we've trimmed the fat with a slicker, quicker, more hookery Hooker we can't wait to have her play with the incredible lineup. People are getting excited, as they should. Here's what the media - in the form of DallasNews.com - has to say about it --
"October is over, but thank you Blood Bath folks for understanding that doesn't mean we need to put horror films to bed till next Halloween . Oak Cliff's historic Texas Theatre gets a little gory November 13-14 when Blood Bath 2: The Film Festival puts on two days of "a celebration of independent horror cinema showcasing feature and short films from around the world." The festival is the world premiere for the feature films Kodie, filmed locally in Dallas by Abel Berry and Jennifer Stone, and The Super. It's also the American premiere of feature film Fell.
There's an after party Saturday night at the Muddy Waters (4314 Live Oak St.) with special musical guests Jack O'Hara Harris, The Lash Outs, and The Whiskey Folk Ramblers starting at 10 p.m. Tickets to the fest are $7 per feature-length film, $15 per day, or $25 for the weekend."
You know, that's right. What about the fine features that are playing at the festival? The article goes on to give you a good outline of the other films, one that I have been dying to see is 'Kodie', but what is it about? Well, what DallasNews.com has to say, gentle reader, is --
"KODIE tells the story of David, a paranormal investigator, who has come to a point in his life where everything he cares about is being ripped away in domestic turmoil. He soon finds himself and his team caught in a world of a murderous little girl named Kodie in the form of a teddy bear. Many of the cast and crew will be in attendance for a Q&A following the film."
Say whaaaaaaaaaat? Yes. Yes, yes, and YES. It will be all forms of rad. I've heard a lot of good things about this one and there's some sweet hooker love in the article too stating that also playing, the film by --
"Canadian twins Jen and Sylvia Soska's DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK, which has become an underground cult fan favorite while winning many awards at festivals all around the world"
Huge thanks to DOA Blood Bath Entertainment and Andrew Rose for their constant support from the get go, their beautiful hard work to create a great festival for folks that love the red stuff, and for being such dear friends to a pair of twisted twins. Thank you so kindly! Looking forward to this one. Big time.
One of the first film fests to show 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk' - the epically long two hour version. Now our Hooker is trim, precise, and right to the point like any good prostitute. Huge thanks to Dione and Andrew Rose for all the support and showing the film at their festival. It's going to be a bloody good one!
