Mulberry Street – Limited Edition (Blu-Ray) (IMPORT)

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, a diverse group of residents - including boxer Clutch (Nick Damici), his veteran daughter Casey (Kim Blair), their close friend Coco (Ron Brice), single mother Kay (Bo Corre) and elderly roommates Charlie (Larry Fleischman) and Frank (Larry Medich) - live alongside each other in a tenement block on New York's historic Mulberry Street. A few days before they are all due to be forcibly evicted to make way for luxury housing, a virus carried by sewer rats breaks out in their neighbourhood, turning its victims into horrifying hybrids of human and rodent. The debut feature by Jim Mickle (Cold in July) and the first of several collaborations between Mickle and his co-writer Nick Damici (Stake Land), Mulberry Street is a visceral, low- budget marvel of independent American horror and a pointed commentary on gentrification and class warfare.
