Get ready for a full load of face-melting gory goodness when Cineverse/Bloody Disgusting/SCREAMBOX reboot the 1987 cult classic Street Trash alongside Vinegar Syndrome, set to have its Los Angeles Premiere at the New Beverly Cinema on October 17th at 7:30 PM.

From director Ryan Kruger, whose first independent feature Fried Barry played dozens of film festivals worldwide, Street Trash follows a group of homeless misfits as they fight for survival when they discover a plot to exterminate every homeless person in the city.

“Our reimagining of Street Trash takes place in Cape Town, South Africa where the growing divide between rich and poor has changed the world as we know it,” says Kruger. “I was a huge fan of the original Street Trash when I was a kid, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce a whole new generation to the melted gonzo goodness that made the original such a classic.”

“I’m excited to reinterpret the original story, update it to better reflect the times we live in and give it a new and original spin,” continued Kruger. “While our reimagining features new, exciting plot elements that give the film many bizarre twists and turns, the core of the film lies with our diverse and unique cast of characters. As a director, I am very character-centric and I can’t wait to see our strange and hilarious ensemble on screen together as they navigate the hostile streets of Cape Town. Our version of Street Trash will be raw, hilarious, packed with vibrant characters and multi-colored explosions of gooey greatness.”

“The original Street Trash was known for its dark humor, over-the-top gore, and surreal visuals, and we know the film is in the right hands with Ryan Kruger to push this remake even further,” said Brad Miska, Managing Director of Bloody Disgusting/Cineverse. “It’s frightening how relevant the social commentary continues to be after all of these years.”
