"STREET TRASH" (2024) Returns To Melt Your Freaking Face! (TRAILER)

In 1987, far fewer films pushed the gore envelope to the extreme than “STREET TRASH.” When it hit theaters that summer, it became an instant cult classic—immediately one of those “you are not going to believe this” films of the late 1980s. The film became synonymous with splatterific practical effects and a pioneer of the melt movie which would continue the following year with “THE BLOB” remake. Switching the setting from Brooklyn to South Africa, Ryan Kruger (“FRIED BARRY”) directs this new interpretation with all the gonzo you’d expect, a killer cast, and enough melting to make a snowman nervous. Check out the trailer below and get ready for some gooey greatness once “STREET TRASH” hits Digital on November 19th and Screambox in December!

Synopsis

In the not-too-distant dystopian future of South Africa, the homeless crisis has reached such a critical level that the government has decided to liquidate the problem (literally). It’s up to a ragtag group of homeless individuals to fight back before the entire population of homeless people is rounded up and liquefied.

The reimagined classic, STREET TRASH is directed by Ryan Kruger (“Warrior,” Fried Barry) who also co-wrote the film with James C. Williamson (Fried Barry).  The new film is based on the 1987 film of the same name written by Roy Frumkes (The Substitute, The Sweet Life) & J. Michael Muro (Crash, The Chronicles of Riddick).

Kruger also stars in the film alongside Sean Cameron Michael (“Black Sails,” The Mummy) and Donna Cormack-Thomson (“Catch Me A Killer,” “FDR”), Joe Vaz (“Good Omens,” “The Watch”), Lloyd Martinez Newkirk (Fried Barry), Shuraigh Meyer (The Umbrella Men), Gary Green (Fried Barry), and Warrick Grier (Dredd).
