DEAD HOOKER makes More Horror's Top 5 of 2011

Jason Lees, we love you, too. Jason has written a radcore list of his top 5 films of 2011. And what lands a film on that epic list? Unforgettability. Yeah, that is SO actually a word. And we love More Horror. Seriously, you should check that shit out. It is rad.

"The following films are ones that may have snuck out prior to last year but are ones that I just got around to seeing. And when I say “top” I mean they’re the ones that stood out the most. I bet there were some better films released last year, but when I looked back, these are the ones that really burned themselves into my psyche." ~ Jason Lees, More Horror

And guess who's on that list? DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK is #1. Okay, so it's a list that is in NO particular order, but, fuck it, we'll take it anyway ;)

"DEAD HOOKER needs to be better known, and I know I’m preaching to the converted here, but it’s the kind of film we need more of, especially today with all the problems we have with mass produced remakes and cookie cutter mainstream mush. DEAD HOOKER isn’t trying to re-invent the wheel, it just does. Love this film." ~ Jason Lees, More Horror

Also on that list? DRIVE ANGRY. And what does DRIVE ANGRY have that gets us all excited? OTHER than Nicolas Cage (who, at present, may or may not be a 300 year old vampire, I shit you not)?

Brian Pearson, one of the top directors of photography anywhere, shot that bad boy and, man, does he shoot things sexy as hell. Brian's also the director of photography in our upcoming AMERICAN MARY so get ready for awesome~y awesome~ness galore.

Check out Jason's FULL LIST HERE!!

And for all you Nick Cage fans out there, here is the greatest Nick Cage video of all time. A personal favorite.

**WARNING** Watching this video may make you fall hopelessly in love with Nick Cage. Watch at your own discretion. Anyone with a heart condition must leave the room.



XO,
Jen

Dead Hooker Is Bat Shit Crazy At Its Best

Some movies start off slow to lure you in, while some just take their time to find their pace. Others, like “Dead Hooker in a Trunk,” just don’t care about a slow beginning because it knows that in about 30 minutes it’s going to own your soul.

The team at MoreHorror.com is sensational. A team consisting of people who live and breath the genre - they know their horror from the entrails out and use their vast knowledge not only to get the word out about rad horror flicks in general, but also are full supporters of the independents. Their site is a playground for any horror junkie - click here to get to the site for a full fix.


Just a couple weeks ago we had the lovely Tiffany Farrow release a piece on the IFC Midnight release of DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK. Even before the release, the team at MoreHorror.com was there pimping (pun intended) out the flick and getting the word out about the project --

Just when you thought it was safe to hit the streets and sell your body for money, something like this happens.

This indie horror film is ahead of its time and budget. The Soska Sisters have unleashed a sexy low budget Tarantino flavored flick--filled with blood, humor and gore titled 'Dead Hooker In A Trunk'. If you are a fan of all of the above, don't miss this movie.

It has awesome of awesome to wake up this morning to a fucking wicked review of the flick by Jason Lees of MoreHorror.com. What impression would the independent picture leave on this talented writer?

Dead Hooker in a Trunk is about this dead hooker in a trunk. Sort of. We open with two sisters (the multi titled writer/director/star/producing duo of the Soska Twins, Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska) and a few friends who are just going about their day when they get an odd whiff of something coming from the back of their car. From there, we get drugs, violence, loud LOUD music, and enough cursing to make Quentin Tarantino ears blush. The set up is a bit forced, but looking back at the film now, I’m pretty damn sure it was the Twins psyching the audience out. I think they knew their audience would be expecting something with a title like that so they kept their cards close their chest, so when they flash their hand, damn, it’s shocking.

Yes, the first half hour or so had me wondering what I was in for, with its loopy logic and less than waterproof plotting, but then we get this apartment invasion scene and damn it, it made me a fan in a big way. From that moment to its finale, “Dead Hooker in a Trunk” was calling the shots. Anything it wanted to show me, I’d believe. Someone loses an arm? Yea, I bet they’ll be okay. Someone gets nearly ripped in half? Of course I’ll buy them being fine in the next scene. This may be the Soskas debut feature, but they know how to handle an audience. They lead us through the story and take us right where they want us to go.

A night with HOOKER well spent. Mwa ha ha ha. But in all seriousness, this kind of review means the world to us. It's honest, it's intelligent, and it leaves you with a sense of pride - you tend to feel like a hermit after three/four years of working on a film and you aren't sure if what you're going for is going to be what others see in the project. I am stoked that Jason enjoyed the flick - get his full rad write-up here. Thank you for taking the time to watch and review the film and a huge and humble thanks to the entire MoreHorror.com team for supporting this flick and so many other independents.


Thank you for reading, girls and boys! Please enjoy the review and please share DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK with your cool friends. May it give you 92 minutes of bat shit crazy fun!

Proud Mary Keeps on Rolling

The countdown to the release of the AMERICAN MARY teaser on December 11th continues as November comes to an end. Our good friends are helping spread the word. A very humble and gracious thank you for all the support. You are the people who made DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK the success that it is today. AMERICAN MARY is especially for you.

Here is more tease for the upcoming teaser --

Read the piece from MORE HORROR.

"We can't wait to see what the girls have in store for us next. We'll keep you posted."

Read the piece from DREAD CENTRAL.

"Twisted twins Jen and Sylvia Soska, the masterminds behind Dead Hooker in a Trunk, are back at it with American Mary, a film they're keeping quite close-lipped about other than promising its trailer will debut on December 11th."

I just want to tell you everything in every tiny detail, but for now, we must wait. Thank you for being at our side for this journey. It's going to be a real mother-fucker.
