The HOOKER is finally let out of the TRUNK starting this August

I know the title of this article may sound offensive  for those who aren’t already initiated into the cult following of the Soska Sisters, but this is in reference to their acclaimed debut film.  Dead Hooker in a Trunk  has caught the attention of Eli Roth who has praised the crazy film and the crazy Canadian twin sisters that are behind it (they also act in it as well).  After years of waiting, the film is finally set to be released On Demand and in limited theaters thanks to IFC Midnight.  Keep reading to find out when the body will finally be let out of the trunk.

Starting on VOD on August 3, you can enjoy Dead Hooker in a Trunk in the safety of your own home.  Yet for some lucky cities, you will get the opportunity to celebrate its release in theaters with a crowd of screaming fans.  The dates and cities for the theatrical run have not been released as of yet, but we will keep you up to date as information becomes available.  I’m extremely excited about this announcement as this films has been on my radar for quite some time.  To read more about this film, check out the synopsis below.

“ ‘Dead Hooker in a Trunk‘, set in beautiful Vancouver, tells the story of four friends who set out on an everyday errand and end up in a fight for their lives when they discover the body of a dead hooker left in their trunk.

Lead by a sexy, impulsive Badass, her distant Geek twin sister, their bible thumping, Jesus loving Goody Two Shoes friend, and a chaotic, rock star Junkie pal, the group has to put aside their differences to dispose of the body before they’re next. Thrown into their own personal purgatory, they face off against persistent police, a sleazy motel manager, chainsaw wielding triads, and a brutal serial killer. All the while they are followed by a mysterious Cowboy Pimp who wants to claim the corpse for his own.

Will they uncover the truth behind the body and be able to stand up to their demons? Buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life filled with gun fights, extreme violence, blood, guts, gore, and goats.“

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
