‘Hooker Assassin’ (2017) Deliciously Revengeful

I love revenge films. They’re empowering, exciting, and often heartwrenching. There’s something wickedly special about watching someone seek revenge on those who have tormented them. In the new horror short Hooker Assassin, the main character makes revenge a work of art.

The short is directed by the lovely Misty Dawn as well as co-written by herself and Hanna Campbell. The cast includes Courtney Palm as Jessi, Daniel Hampel as The John, and Jordan Brown as Megz.

 

Official Synopsis for Hooker Assassin:

They say a mother will go to hell and back for their child, but Jessi’s already there. How much further is she willing to go, to ensure the safety of her daughter?
I watched this short a few months back and after revisiting again, I love it even more. Misty Dawn is a kickass director and knows how to deliver a horrifying story with a wickedly delicious revenge just a brief amount of time. Everything about Hooker Assassin is pure gold and raises the bar for other horror shorts to live up to.
The performances in the short are one of the things that make the story stand out. Courtney Palm is an amazing female lead who is strong, empowering, and ruthless. I loved her character and her performance was solid from beginning to end. Daniel Hampel’s character is exceptionally awesome. He’s the perfect bad guy with a slightly demented sarcastic side. Some of his performance was over the top, but in the end, it suited the situation perfectly.
