You wait years for a claustrophobic thriller about a woman trapped in the
trunk of a car and then two come along at once. Following the recent German
thriller
Trunk, writer/director Jonas Kvist Jensen's The Girl in the Trunk has a
similar premise. This one stars Katharina Sporrer as a woman who finds herself trapped in the
trunk of a speeding car while clad in a wedding dress. Caspar Phillipson plays her kidnapper.
The Girl in the Trunk is on UK/ROI/US/CAN VOD from May
28th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
A woman finds herself kidnapped and entrapped in the enclosed space of a speeding car’s trunk, wearing her wedding dress, and with her phone as the only available tool. The situation deteriorates gradually as a failed escape attempt costs the life of an innocent bystander.With the clock ticking towards a slow death from heat exhaustion in the Texas desert, a psychotic kidnapper at the wheel, Amanda is forced to make her own luck in the end. A dangerous game of questions and deadly consequences – to be played over the phone with the mysterious kidnapper – seems the only way to maybe discover his true identity, getting help or simply fighting her painful way towards a fleeting chance of escape.
