Mr. Darko finds a Dead Hooker in his Trunk

The horror community is made up of many faces, people from all different places, all sharing a love of horror, and something else - the community consists of the best people on the planet. Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Darko of The Movie Log --

"I am an avid movie watcher of all genre's, although my favourites are horror and sci-fi. I will be reviewing every movie I watch and giving you my two cents. Feel free to leave your opinion or suggest movie for me to watch."

With the new IFC Midnight release of DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK, the film is getting seen by many folks. So what did Mr. Darko think about the flick?

"All in all Dead Hooker in a Trunk, is a great debut film from the Soska sisters, and is already being called a cult classic. While this is something we will only know in time, I must say this feels very familiar to another pair of horrors great icons. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, two friends with nothing but gallons of fake blood and a love for horror who created one of the great cult classics Evil Dead. That being said I already have my eye out for American Mary, the Soska Sisters next big feature and I look forward to seeing where they go next."

I can't exclaim the pure, unadulterated nerd joy these words give me. Jen and I made this film with the intention of making something fun, crazy, and entertaining like the films we grew up on. There's nothing better than hearing that people are digging the flick. Clickity click here for the whole piece.*

Dead Hooker in the House of Vyle

A few weeks ago I had a chance to see a movie that had been on My "to watch" list, Dead Hooker In A Trunk. Yes, for those of you who have not heard of this film it probably sounds like it should be paired up as a grindhouse double feature with Hobo With A Shotgun, and yeah in all reality it probably should. This is the vision and debut film of Jen and Sylvia Soska, a pair of twins from Canada who are crafty, creative, sexy and definately twisted, as their Twisted Twins production company with a logo that is a pair of small "t's" which look like gravestones would imply.

Now I love independent films. even the really bad ones and especially off the wall ones. For those unaware before Peter Jackson began putting out Lord Of The Rings, and Sami Rami began making Spider-Man films that they had both churned out outrageous splatterfest like Brain Dead, Bad Taste and the Evil Dead Trilogy. So if Dead Hooker In A Trunk seems a little off the wall, wild and wierd, remember that some of the biggest names in movies started out the same way.

This is an excerpt from a recent review of DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK as done by Master Vyle of House Of Master Vyle which is a pretty fucking cool blog with oodles of fun stuff to read about, but be aware that it has material of an adult nature, so if you're an adult and want to check out some fun 18 + fun (see above blerb) click here to get to the site - and you're welcome!


It is a very cool to this filmmaker that Master Vyle took the time to check out the flick and write such a nice thorough and thoughtful review of the piece. If you've been hearing about the film, but aren't sure whether it's for you (it is) please allow Master Vyle's awesome words bring you to our side --

If you like off the wall films like Bad Taste and Pink Flamingos then Dead Hooker In A Trunk is right up your alley. It's one of those movies you have to see to appericiate, but in My opinion it doesn't fall into that "so bad" it has to be seen to be appericiated films category, becuase in the end for all its cheesiness and lack of logic Dead Hooker In A Trunk is a great film. In fact I even told the Soskas if I was ever in an accident and lost a limb I hoped it happened in Canada, where it appears they're doing miricales with reattachments.
