There’s a whole lot of fresh melting going on in this reimagining of the cult favorite.

Cineverse will release the new STREET TRASH on digital platforms November 19, with a Screambox debut to follow. Based on the 1987 gross-out horror/comedy Jim Muro and Roy Frumkes, it was directed by Ryan Kruger, who scripted with James C. Williamson. Kruger also co-stars along with Sean Cameron Michael, Donna Cormack-Thomson, Joe Vaz, Lloyd Martinez Newkirk, Shuraigh Meyer and Gary Green; Justin A. Martell, Matt Manjourides, David Franciscus and Kruger produced. The 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.”
