“With a tone all its own, this visionary punk epic from Victor Bonacore is a breath of fresh air in an era of stagnation.” - Art Ettinger

Thrust pushes the boundaries of what some might deem to be good taste, but who wants good taste in a micro-budgeted exploitation flick?” - Michael Cavender, Cinedump

“There’s something so hypnotic about the insane and bizarre. With an absurd amount of language, nudity, and violence, Thrust! is an exploitation film in its purest form.” - Connor Petrey, Cinefied

Aloe & Vera are two lovers living out their dystopian days in a not so distant future.  Girl gangs rule the dangerous streets and the extinction of men is imminent, all the while everyone is in search of a special drug that gets you so high, you die!  The last surviving degenerate Dirtbag Mike, escapes an institution and goes on a violent rampage slicing & dicing through the bombed out apocalypse.  It’s up to our two star-crossed-lovers played by erotic starlet Erin Brown and indie Squeam Queen Allison Egan to stop Dirtbag Mike’s bloody path once and for all and finally end men!  Come along as they embark on a quest alongside their sidekick Punk Kid, a gang of roller girls, wrestlers, punks, futuristic furies, naughty nurses, a rogue murderous film director, the last of the good ones and the oracle goddess Summer Eve.  Standing in their way are killer cops, gun toting hipsters and of course the most evil Dirtbag Mike played by Michael Shersenovich.
