‘Dead Hooker In a Trunk’ Crashes Onto Blu-ray
Arriving at festivals almost a decade ago, Dead Hooker In a Trunk was a brash and violent calling card for a pair of young Canadian filmmakers. The Soska Sisters’ grindhouse horror film proved to be a hit on the festival circuit, with many regarding it as a stylistic, genre-bending take on modern exploitation.
HorrorPack announced today the exclusive release of Dead Hooker In a Trunk as the nineteenth entry in the HorrorPack Limited Edition Blu-ray lineup, including brand new cover art and an all-new commentary track by Jen and Sylvia Soska and their frequent soundtrack collaborator, Kevvy from Fake Shark.
“This film is a miracle,” explained the Soska Sisters said. “Its success is a huge leap of faith. The belief fans put in us and the way they rallied around us made our greatest dreams a reality. This film is proof that when you follow your stupid fucking dreams, great things happen.”
The Limited Edition Blu-ray from HorrorPack comes in collaboration with MPI Media and IFC Films.
Special features include:
-
- Original Theatrical Version of the film
- NEW audio commentary with Directors Jen and Sylvia Soska and frequent collaborator Kevvy
- Behind the Scenes Featurette
- Deleted and Alternate Scenes
- Original Theatrical Trailer

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
