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.

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…

"Sorry guys, but I really couldn't get in to this. While some of it was mildly humorous, it was definitely not as hilarious as it wanted to be. There was certainly plenty of splattering fluids everywhere, but even that got rather tired pretty fast. I didn't hate it, but it just wasn't great. Nice packaging and stuff. Might watch the extras one day, but then again, I might not."
"Wasn't expecting much from this new Street Trash but it was very fun. Fans of the originl movie wil probably enjoy this one"
"Not good as original but really entertaining"
"Movie is definitly a fun watch with great effects, but it is not in the same league as the original."
"Good sequel. Glad to add to the collection"
"Did not mind thie reboot of a indie classic the deaths are very quality and lots of extras for a fairly recent movie"
"I was a big fan of the original Street Trash. Rented that video tape many times back in the early 90s. Never knew it was remade until seeing this VS release. Initially I passed, thinking it was a movie that didn’t need a remake. However, after it sold out a few came up on a Labor Day OOP sale and I couldn’t resist. Between fomo and the incredible packaging/artwork, they got me. I ended up half liking and disliking this new Street Trash. I like that it’s really not a remake at all. It’s more of a sequel. The original was pretty lean on story, as I recall, but this new installment expands on the original concepts, giving them a little more meaning and purpose. Maybe that goes against the intent of the original Street Trash, but I did like that aspect. What I really didn’t like was the characters. The first half of the film spends too much time with characters I found annoying and uninteresting. Even cringeworthy at times. However, when this movie finally pops off, the second half is its saving grace. The action is enjoyable and the special effects are impressive. There are several melting scenes in the first half, but the ending is bonkers. For that, it was a good time."
"Really fun film and worth it if you like the original"
"Fun movie if you watch in the right mood, not as good as the original but fun to watch and great selection of extras"
"I know it's heretical, but this is better than the 80's one."
