When it comes to body horror these girls are doing it for themselves...

Filmmaking duo The Soska Sisters made a bit of a splash with their debut outing Dead Hooker in a Trunk. So much, it would appear, that Universal picked up the UK distribution rights for their second film – a twisted tale starring Katherine Isabelle as a medical student with a talent for 'body modification'. Behind the ugly Blu-ray menu lurks a very attractive AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode full of rich colours and inky shadows, although the DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix is disappointingly front-heavy. Extras are limited to on-set footage and a video of the filmmakers attending FrightFest 2012 in London.
