Independent B-Movie crap.

I do like Indie films... WHEN THEY'RE GOOD! Indie films should not be treated lighter than your multi-million-dollar blockbuster. To those who liked this movie, there are indie films (and low budget ones) that are MUCH BETTER! Clerks, Mockingbird Don't Sing, Halloween, Xtro 1 & 3, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Den Osynlige, Ginger Snaps, Let The Right One In, The Rare Exports shorts, Lake Mungo, Hercules Returns, Psycho, Alive in Joburg... well the list goes on.

The Soska sisters had a good idea... FOR A COMEDY. This somehow is meant to be taken seriously... I kid you not, a movie with the title of "Dead Hooker in a Trunk" is meant to be taken seriously. Oh but there are bits of humour, they're weak at best. At least the humour wasn't as bad as Craig Moss.

I actually thought at the start this movie was going to be good for what it's worth (If a Jesus freak sings in a movie with a premise like this you've sold me to watch the remaining 70 minutes).

So what exactly is the premise you may ask. It is about 4 friends (NONE have names) finding the body of a prostitute with drugs in the trunk of their car. They spend the whole movie trying to bury the body whilst coming across a crazy mob, serial killers and cowboys (and this was meant to be taken seriously?).

One other complaint is a complaint I have with most Kaiju films (especially those "Godzilla Vs..." ones) after you have seen it all end the movie is below standard running time for full-length so they decide to write a reason in for the movie to continue then finishes.

The idea was good for a comedy but because it isn't this movie ends up being crap.
