‘Dead Hooker In a Trunk’ Crashes Onto Blu-ray

Published

on

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

For the uninitiated, HorrorPack is a monthly Horror Movie Subscription Box featuring four Horror Movies on Blu-ray (including a Limited Edition Blu-ray each month) for $24.99 with free US shipping, or four Horror Movies on DVD for $19.99 with free US shipping for fans of the DVD format.

Watch the Opening ‘Mortal Kombat II’ Battle Scene Now Ahead of Physical Media Release in July

Published

on

Sequel Mortal Kombat II is now available to watch at home on Digital before heading to physical media in July, but you can test your might now and watch the opening scene.

Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid returns to the helm for the new sequel from a script by Jeremy Slater (“Moon Knight,” Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire).

In Mortal Kombat II, the fan-favorite champions — now joined by Johnny Cage (Karl Urban) — are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.

Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Damon Herriman, Chin Han, Tadanobu Asano, Joe Taslim, and Hiroyuki Sanada are also part of the ensemble cast of Mortal Kombat II fighters.

Watch the opening below, which introduces a young Kitana (Sophia Xu) as Emperor Shao Kahn (Martyn Ford) prepares to conquer her father, King Jerrod (Desmond Chiam), and her kingdom of Edenia. It sets the sequel’s entire plot in motion.

From New Line Cinema, James Wan’s Atomic Monster, Broken Road Productions, and Fireside Films, Mortal Kombat II is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language.”

Look for Mortal Kombat II to arrive on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on July 28, 2026.
