 Street Trash (2024)
Thursday, October 17, 7:30 PM
New Beverly Cinema
$14.25

Not a great sign that there's no trailer, but that's one Hell of an amazing gross-out poster. Based on an 80's horror movie of the same name, Street Trash (2024) looks like it'll be an over-the-top messed up mess. Be sure to go the premiere as that'll be the most fun place to see it. We're getting B-horror vibes up the ying yang with an updated plot set in South Africa instead of good ol' 80's Brooklyn.

Synopsis: A group of homeless misfits must fight for survival when they discover a plot to exterminate every homeless person in the city.
 
*Seriously, though, the original is a truly a weird one with weird homeless crazy people and people melting to death in toilets.
 
 

20th anniversary of ‘SAW’, the unrated version will be in theaters  October 20 and 23.
