"Wow. It was midnight and I put it on just to see a little and watched the entire film
The violence was incredible...The Goody Two Shoes is excellent.
He's so talented musically. It gets people excited to spend the movie with him."
director Eli Roth

Set in beautiful Vancouver, four friends set out on an everyday errand and end up in a fight for their lives when they discover the body of a dead hooker left in their trunk. Lead by a sexy, impulsive Badass (Sylvia Soska), her distant Geek twin sister (Jen Soska), their bible thumping, Jesus loving Goody Two Shoes friend (CJ Wallis), and a chaotic, rockstar Junkie pal (Rikki Gagne), the group has to put aside their differences to dispose of the body before they're next.

Thrown into their own personal purgatory, they face off against persistent police, a sleazy motel manager, chainsaw wielding triads, and a brutal serial killer. All the while they are followed by a mysterious Cowboy Pimp (John Tench) who wants to claim the corpse for his own. Will they uncover the truth behind the body and be able to stand up to their demons? Buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life filled with gun fights, extreme violence, blood, guts, gore, and goats!

Originally written as a fourth female character, Jen & Sylvia Soska met CJ at a film screening and re-wrote the part of the Jesus-fueled Goody Two-Shoes as a male in their no-budget debut feature film Dead Hooker In A Trunk. The film started shooting in October 2007 and wrapped in March of 2008. CJ worked in multiple roles throughout each production step of the process including camera operation, all post production and an original score to the film.

The fillm was screened to the cast and crew in the fall of 2008 at a blissfully indulgent 120 minute length and has since been trimmed down to 90 minutes and has been received with consistantly enthusiastic reviews and a considerable internet fanbase. The marketing and web presence for the film was created and designed by Fortyfps.

In 2010 the film hit the genre festival circuit and has played all over the world. At the Polygrind Film Festival, Dead Hooker In A Trunk was chosen as the "Best Feature" by the audience and Jen & Sylvia Soska were awarded "Best Screenplay" and Everett Hartsoe's "Bad Girl Award."
