*** Résumé en anglais seulement ***In the year 2050, global economic turmoil has destroyed the middle class in Cape Town, South Africa, which is now divided between the ultra-rich and the extremely poor, whose squalid existences are relegated to filthy encampments besieged by ongoing turf wars. Newcomer Alex, who’s on the run from local crime boss the Rat King, is rescued by long-time street-dweller Ronald and given refuge at his compound, inhabited by a ragtag group of colorful characters. However, her sense of security is short-lived as soon after her arrival, various members of the community begin to vanish. Determined to find out what’s going on, Ronald, Alex, and their friends discover that evil Mayor Mostert is eliminating all homeless people using an experimental chemical known only as “Viper” – a substance that melts through flesh and turns human bone into puddles of goo…The second feature film by multi-award winning director Ryan Kruger (Fried Barry) and from the co-creators and producers of The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs, STREET TRASH is a spiritual sequel to the 80's cult classic, shot in 35mm Techniscope and filmed entirely on location in South Africa. Executive produced by Roy Frumkes and Jim Muro, creators of the original Street Trash, and featuring impressive and explosive meltdown effects sequences designed by Kevin Bitters (Mad Max: Fury Road) and Adrian Smith (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter), Vinegar Syndrome Pictures presents the world Blu-ray debut of this gory and slimy action-comedy.
