Street Trash Remake: Trailer Talk

A remake that I’m sure no one saw coming is for the 1987 gross-out horror ‘Street Trash’.

‘Street Trash’ follows a group of misfits as they discover a plot to exterminate every homeless person in their city.

While the original film saw the body horror occur due to a liquor store selling toxic beverages accidently, the remake tells the story of a deliberate ploy to end homelessness by the city’s mayor. Not only does the cyberpunk-like modern setting fit perfectly, but the social commentary on governments trying to ‘combat’ homelessness is, unfortunately, just as relevant now as it ever has been. So, the remake feels strangely relevant and important to release.

But this is ‘Street Trash’, so the gross-out gore and violence are sure to stay. And it looks like this film will be in keeping with the original horror elements, which includes the well-known body melting effects. With the director being Ryan Kruger, who also made the disgusting and drugged-up journey ‘Fried Barry’ in 2020, it’s sure to be just as gooey and grotesque as the original. 

The remake of ‘Street Trash’ is, once again, an unexpected one. But, just from the trailer alone, it’s done a fantastic job at placing the story in a modern setting. Plus, through all the gore and grossness, it manages to hand out some social commentary, making this a strange but relevant remake to a horror cult classic.
