In Wales, played a Dead Hooker...

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.
