An ordinary couple is about to have a life changing experience. After causing a car accident in which a young prostitute is left dead, the woman asks the man to keep everything a secret. However, the prostitute is very much alive and she’s ready to confront them, no matter what. Hooked’s naturalistic, handheld visual style complements the psychological complexity of the screenplay.

“… extraordinary power and utility in portraying fascinating characters engaged in a highly compelling dynamic, relying on pure raw talent behind the superb writing, acting and direction, and all achieved on a Dogme budget.” — Orly Ravid, Jury Member, Palm Springs Film Festival
