The Soska sisters came onto the scene with their low-budget indie grindhouse film Dead Hooker in a Trunk. This film showed their passion for the genre and their unabashed determination in their endeavor to be film makers. When watching dead hooker in a trunk you can see the heart in it and it's a hell of a fun ride.
Fast forward a few years and the twins unleash their next feature on the world. This time, a body horror called American Mary, that soon became a modern cult classic. This film will be talked about for years to come and has cemented the Soska sisters as essential names in horror.
The sisters have also released some great, action packed films through WWE, including the slasher sequel 'See No Evil 2' and the brutal revenge film 'Vendetta'.
Last year the Jen and Sylvia took on the task of remaking the Cronenberg classic Rabid. Their version is a magnificent modernization with style, substance and bags of gore!
Add to their feature filmography a host of shorts and comic book work both with marvel and on their own and you've got plenty of twisted twins goodness to keep you going.
The online presence that the sisters have must be mentioned here too. They hold a blood drive PSA every year during women in horror month, showcasing great shorts. They are wonderfully accommodating with their fans on social media, taking the time to converse with people all over the world, and they stand up for what they believe in and are very outspoken about it, not shying away from difficult topics that they feel strongly about.
To finish, I'd just like to say that Jen and Sylvia Soska are also an absolute pleasure to meet in person. I was lucky enough to meet them at a screening of Rabid last year, and not only do they take their time with all of their fans to give a wonderful memory of the meeting, they are genuinely excited and enthusiastic to be meeting with the people that appreciate their work and all they do.
I look forward to all the amazing things that the twisted twins will bring to the genre in the future!
