Last Updated on August 5, 2021

After a run on the film festival circuit, not to mention being released overseas earlier in the year, the independent flick DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK has been acquired for a North America release by IFC Midnight. The film will receive a limited theatrical run with special midnight screenings in the U.S. and Canada, although the dates and cities are to be determined. If you don’t want to wait, it will be available on VOD beginning August 3.

The film, which first screened back in 2007, is the debut of writer/director twin sisters Jen and Sylvia Soska. They also act in the movie, alongside Rikki Gagne (below), CJ Wallis and John Tench.

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.
