Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

The Age of Commercialism

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Heil From New Zealand, Soskas.The Soska Family have collaborated to produce a pretty cool true low budget Grindhouse film. The opening sequence had me fooled into a Gothic-noir film, which I would love to see them try next. But very quickly you realise it is a different ride indeed. I particularly love the way realism is just cast aside without explanation. Nothing is predictable from scene to scene. The Soska sisters were mesmerising. I have only watched half of Kill Bill, and none of Kill Bill 2 because they were such desperate attempts at Grindhouse but with a ridiculous budget. Rather watch this instead. The Soska Sisters are my new fave next to Mary Death of course. I do love my Mary Death...Jx

I cannot fathom why this home movie, an attempt by teenagers with not an ounce of skill between the entire production crew, to make a horror film. This scattered, non-directed, non-acted, completely uninteresting, obviously home-made piece of garbage has nothing going for it except a few occasional funny cornball home- made special effects, most of which are just over-the-top cartoon gore. There is literally nothing else about this movie that's worth sitting through.Are you one of those people who ever picked up a camera and tried to make a movie over a weekend with your friends when you were a teenager? That is this movie. I have no idea why this got distribution, and I definitely have no idea why there are people posting here that they actually enjoyed watching this miserable, self-indulgent teenage crap. Maybe they're all friends of the filmmakers, that's the only thing I can imagine. Every character is a cardboard stereotype, like you'd find in a movie written by a kid who didn't know how to write. The editing is abysmal, the camera-work seems like they just had someone running around with a super-8 camera. In sunny scenes you can see they didn't even think to wipe the dust off the lens. The acting - well, there isn't any acting. These people have obviously never acted before in their lives, and they aren't here. I don't know what you call their stiff, phony hamminess, but it's not acting.I know the Soska sisters did go on to become good directors and make watchable movies. Their next movie, American Mary, was great. That does not save this.

The Soska sisters are two of the more interesting characters working in horror today... identical twins with a seriously twisted outlook on life who have thus far written, directed, produced, and starred in several shorts and two full length indie movies, Dead Hooker In A Trunk (2009) and body modification horror American Mary (2012). Suitably impressed by the latter, I felt compelled to check out their debut feature; sadly, Dead Hooker is nowhere near as an accomplished effort, being yet another weak Tarantino-style grind-house homage that wants to be both ultra-cool edgy thriller AND over-the-top splat-stick, but which ends up simply being a mess.Jen Soska plays 'Geek', a bible-thumping church-goer; Sylvia plays her sister 'Badass', the yin to her yang, a tattooed bitch in a tight black vest who refuses to take crap from anyone. Together with 'Goody Two Shoes' (C.J. Wallis), Jen's virginal boyfriend, and crap punk-rock singer 'Junkie' (Rikki Gagne), they are thrown into a world of chaos and violence after the discovery of a dead hooker and some bags of cocaine in the trunk of their car.While I admire the Soska's for their attitude and obvious enthusiasm, I cannot bring myself to praise what is very clearly the work of naive newcomers; behind the admittedly nifty title lies a poorly written wreck of a film with embarrassingly bad dialogue and some truly terrible acting, not least from the sisters themselves. The action meanders aimlessly from one frustratingly logic-free scene to the next, the characters making ridiculously bad decisions, shrugging off severe (and probably fatal) injuries, and somehow developing incredible fighting skills along the way. About the only real fun to be had is with some cheap and cheerful OTT gore.Thankfully, American Mary suggests that Jen and Sylvia have since honed their writing skills and are now happy to appear in cameos, leaving the main roles to real actors. A wise decision ladies.

I won't warn you of spoilers, but I will warn you of this awful, awful mess of a film. I read many reviews praising this disgrace to the skies, which made me eager to watch it. The high hopes I had for this film were crushed completely within the first quarter of an hour. I really don't know where to begin pointing out the countless shortcomings of this film, nevertheless I will try my best.First, the allegedly refreshing and convincing story turned out to be among the most illogical, inconsequent crap ever written. The dialogs, oh my God, the dialogs. They were so freaking awkward. The actors were even to explain how they feel due to the lack of both storytelling and acting skills of these "genius" twins and their cast.And the specious argument of gore is neither valid nor justifiable for this film. The effects are cheap in the cheapest sense of the word, far from convincing and some were even ridiculous. If the movie were labeled a comedy that would be okay, but according to its official IMDb page it's not.The wild mix of genres, by some reviewers considered innovative, proved to be half-baked and shallow, and therefore unsatisfactory. One review I read compared the movie to a roller-coaster, and I can sort-of agree to that. Only I think it's a BROKEN roller-coaster!Don't ride a broken roller-coaster, even if it's only figuratively spoken, it can cost you an awful lot of brain cells. P.S.: I recommend re-watching "The Horribly Slow Murderer With The Extremely Inefficient Weapon" instead of wasting time for this abomination.
