Junkie (Rikki Gagne), Badass (Sylvia Soska), Badass's shy twin sister Geek (Jen Soska) and Geek's church-going, Jesus-loving almost-boyfriend Gody Two-Shoes (CJ Wallis) for some reasons go on a roadtrip together - and find a dead hooker (Tasha moth) in their trunk. Now this is bad, since Junkie and Badass can't really remember if they are responsible for this after a night of very heavy partying, so calling the police is out of the question, and getting rid of the body is mandatory - and from here on it only gets worse, because the uneven quartet soon finds itself on the run from everybody, like drugdealers, the hooker's pimp (John Tench), the police, and the hooker's hooded killer. This whole affair doesn't leave our four heroes unharmed, either, as Junkie loses one of her arms, Geek one of her eyes, and they all become murderers when they kill first the hooker, who after all hasn't been properly dead yet, then the guy they think was her killer (or almost killer) - which he wasn't.

In the end, the real killer aka the man you least expect (played by Loyd Bateman), a guy who has been suffering from sexual frustration since his penis was slit during circumcision, retrieves the dead hooker and kidnaps Badass, to follow the hooker to the netherworld - but need I mention this one's got a happy ending, and the hooker ultimately gets a sea burial ...

Dead Hooker in a Trunk is one of these all too rare cases where a promising title actually leads to a good movie - and the movie is everything the title suggests, a self-consciously trashy low budget exploitation flick with horror and road movie undercurrents - though while the movie is everything you'd expect it to be, it's still full of unexpected plottwists.

The main selling point of Dead Hooker in a Trunk though is that it is fun from start to finish: It doesn't take itself very seriously but is well-paced , and it never shies away from gore and dismemberment, but mostly puts a macabre to hilarious twist to it.

Essentially, the film is above all great entertainment. Recommended.
