Ahead of its VOD release this November, a poster and trailer have arrived online for the slasher When the Trash Man Knocks.
Written and directed by Christopher Wesley Moore, the film centres on an agoraphobic woman who is haunted by the harrowing memories of the death of her husband and eldest son in a brutal Thanksgiving massacre. However, now the malevolent being who is believed to be responsible for the murders has returned and the legend of the Trash Man is reborn…
In a small Southern town, there lurks a malevolent shadow known as the Trash Man. For over two decades, he’s been a whispered tale of terror, a name spoken only in hushed tones around dimly lit campfires.
Caroline Caldwell knows this all too well. For years, she’s been trapped within the suffocating confines of her domineering mother’s home, imprisoned by the harrowing memories of a brutal Thanksgiving massacre that claimed the lives of her husband and eldest son. But now, her nightmare is far from over.
The Trash Man has returned and he comes, as the legend goes, to collect more than just a pound of flesh. The Trash Man seeks to create a twisted family from the pieces of others, a grotesque mosaic of limbs and souls. As the Trash Man’s infernal designs unfold and the streets run red with blood, Caroline and her remaining son, Justin, are thrust into a relentless nightmare from which there is no waking.
In the darkness of this forsaken town, the Trash Man’s legend is reborn. And as the chilling whisper spreads, you’ll wonder if that knock at your own door is just a kindly neighbor, or if the Trash Man is closer than you think.
When the Trash Man Knocks arrives on VOD on November 10th.
