TRASH HUMPERS

Directed by HARMONY KORINE/2009/1hr, 18mins.

With Rachel Korine, Brian Kotzer, Travis Nicholson, Harmony Korine

Trash Humpers is Harmony Korine’s return to the big screen with a searing attack on the American Dream. The film, a lo-fi production of white-heat intensity, follows a small gang of elderly peeping toms who go on the rampage. Korine calls it, “a new type of horror; palpable and raw.”
