The Parable of the 'Dead Hooker' A Gore Gospel By Bob Freville


When you think "DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK", what instantly comes to mind? Muscle cars, identical twins, chainsaws, guts, blood, and maybe a goat? How about God and good versus evil and sin and penance? Maybe not. But it should.

What many are surprised to discover are my doppelganger and I are very religious. Yes, you may go as far as to say that Jesus is, in fact, our homeboy. Much of our work has religious undertones to it, but none so significantly as our DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK. Why? Because at the root of it all is good versus evil. In too many films, particularly Hollywood films, good is easily distinguishably from evil. If you take a gander at, say, Asian Cinema, like our most recent trip to the theatres to see I SAW THE DEVIL, the lines blur. Good has evil dwelling within it and even evil has some good. Both exist in all of us. There's an old saying that we all have two fighting dogs within us. One good and one evil. And the one that wins is the one that we feed more often. But, of course, if you don't feed one, it'll start to get hungry and act out...

Enter one extraordinary writer, Bob Freville, of Kotori Magazine (and writer for KillingBoxx). Not only is he an exceptional writer, he sees the religious connotations cleverly hidden away in DHIAT. It's chalk full of good, evil, and religious imagery. Like Junkie waking up to a "burning bush" and being inspired to be insightful.

In all honesty, the article is just too good to spoil. Gore~geously written, with a brilliant, yet playful turn of phrase, here is but one small part with reference to our favorite Bear Jew...

"You see, in the Year Two Thousand Nine A.D., two Canadian ladies, a pair of twins spawned from Eve's rib (or was it Lilith's?) begat a movie. And that movie begat a cult phenomenon that is still rumbling in the underground. That movie was called Dead Hooker in a Trunk and as it was made so it was released and awesome public figures like Eli Roth took notice of its beseechments and Roth, the coolest Jew since Jesus, spread the news and fanboys rejoiced! Word of mouth had it that there was a movie from a pair of kick-ass Canooks who gave Womanhood a better name than Mary Magdalene and Madonna combined. And these chicks didn't have to sing "Like A Virgin" to make it happen!" ~ Bob Freville, Kotori Magazine, Killinboxx

It's just wonderfully written. A definite must read article. I'm not one to spoil the fun, so please enjoy the FULL PIECE HERE.

Exclusive Twisted Twins interview with Kotori Magazine!!

Kotori Magazine kicks ass. Plain and simple.

"Sometimes the truly creative hand us a movie whose title packs as much punch as the movie itself, luring us in and giving us not only what title promises, but more coolness to spare. Hot Tub Time Machine, Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Natural Born Killers spring to mind. In 2009 Jen and Sylvia Soska- two Vancouver film school drop-outs- wrote, produced, directed and acted in their own hometown horror-comedy, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, and the fruit of their labors is every bit one of those aforementioned pictures.

They delivered on the title, albeit without the putrefaction we so loved from the dead hooker in the mattress in Robert Rodriguez's "Misbehavers" short (from the anthology Four Rooms), and they yielded a 92-minute hodge-podge of heightened gore, deadpan gags and solid, admirably rough-and-tumble female leads with lines like, 'You think dying's gonna kill me?'" ~ Bob Freville, Kotori Magazine

Not only was Bob Freville, the gore~geously worded writer and associate editor of Kotori, wicked awesome enough to review our beloved baby, DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK, he also took the time to have a little chit chat with this dynamic duo. The result? Many an exclusive revealed.

Bob Freville Spends Quality Time with our Dead Hooker In A Trunk

What is Kotori magazine? In a word, awesome. In two? Fucking awesome.

If you treat yourselves to a little browse of their official site, they'll tell you they are "where the future of music, art and politics collide to define a new and necessary progressive culture." This is also true and far more eloquently put than my summery. And they're exceptionally good, too. In every definition of the word. Kotori is dedicated to providing its readers with insight into an emerging culture defined by progress towards a globally cooperative and environmentally sound way of life.

Bob Freville is the associate editor at Kotori and is no stranger to wicked awesomeness, in fact, the combination of the two seems to have been an inevitability. Bob was kind enough to cozy up to our DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK and give us his thoughtful insight. He has a wonderful writing style that simply pulls you in and makes you feel as though you're in the company of a good friend.

And a damn good one at that...

"It's a seldom thing to be promised something great and get exactly that. How many times has somebody recommended an album or a movie to you, and when you bring it home you're so sorely underwhelmed that you feel like pissing on the "art" and shitting on the person who raved about it? But Jen & Sylvia Soska's Dead Hooker in a Trunk is one of those infrequent articles of awesomeness that not only doesn't disappoint or piss you off, but fills you to drowning point with piss and vinegar and glee! This is a flick that's as bad ass as its title would suggest!"


As you may guess from that delicious snippet, Bob peered into our proverbial trunk and liked what he saw. We simply adored his article and highly recommend you start your day off with a piping hot cup of rad.

Check out the FULL DELECTABLE REVIEW HERE.

A very special thanks to Bob Freville for taking the time to watch our DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK and all the kick ass Kotorians.

Bloody Best!
