DVD Reviews of Street Trash
DVD Review: Take a swig of this 'VIPER'
Summary: 5 Stars
Truly one of my favorite B-Horror flicks out there! I don't think there's even one time I don't bring this movie up when talking about crazy movies. You've got the dirty streets of New York filled with hobos and weirdos crawling all over! A liquor store owner has just discovered an old crate filled with alcohol titled, 'VIPER'!!! Wait till you see what affects this stuff has on the locals! That's all I'm gonna say.
Synapse did a really good job with this two-disk edition with having tons of extras that include: behind-the-scenes footage, commentary with actors/actresses, and really nice art work inside the keepcase! I'm trying to compare this flick with another but having a hard time haha. This one is truly original! I would say this is up there with 'Bad Taste' or 'Dead Alive' as far as off-the-wall craziness goes! If you've enjoyed those two horror flicks I've mentioned, than this is bound to be a real treat for you!
DVD Review: Over the Line Ugliness
Summary: 2 Stars
I cannot believe the number of positive reviews posted for this movie. They are what led me to view it. Though I see some of the points made by some of the viewers in regard to the film's big bang for the buck production values, no one seems to mention the fact that this is an ugly, mean-spirited, nasty piece of work. Almost no character throughout the entire film has any redeeming qualities. Even the "bums" (I guess they're no longer called homeless people)are terrible people. At one point in the movie a gang of them rape and kill a woman. What kind of sympathy are they supposed to garner from the audience?
I won't outline the plot, as most of the other reviewers have already done so, but yes, it is a bit convoluted and pretty stupid for the most part, but much of it doesn't even make any sense. The young lady who operates the junk yard where the bums are staying argues with her orca fat boss that he should let them camp out in the yard. He says no, they're bums. She says yes, they're runaways who she is trying to keep from becoming bums. But you don't see her trying to help them out of their situation. And virtually none of them are even runaways. They are all in various stages of maturity and ended up where they're at for who knows what reason. They had their shot and blew it. Even the one kid who is a truly "down on his luck" runaway shares some piss-diluted home brew with some of the others. Is he looking to better his circumstances or is the same as they are?
The main part of the plot (the winos drinking toxic brew and melting into day-glow sludge) is all by itself some brutal nastiness. These winos do nothing to put themselves in the good graces of the audience. One of them steals a bottle of the crud that ends up killing him so why feel bad about it. Just sit back and enjoy it as he corrodes into a nifty pile of goo? I suppose that might be fun in certain circles but I just didn't get it.
Nope. This is just one vile scene after another and it became irritating to watch. I can in no way recommend this film. I felt as though I needed to take a shower when it was over. Don't waste your time or money.
DVD Review: Trash classic
Summary: 5 Stars
After all these years of suffering with bad vhs tapes, we finally have the uncut version of this "trash masterpiece" no pun intended. Great fxs and awesome camera work make for a disgusting tale of wine that melts the homeless.DVD Review: not sure what to make of this...
Summary: 3 Stars
it's good, but weird. at times, Street Trash can be funny, dumb, colorful, dingy, political, exploitative, linear, and chaotic.
i wish the coolest bits could have been amped up and the lame parts dialed down. as it is, i think Street Trash is worth seeing if you like strange little films about violent, horny bums and toxic liquor.

DVD Review: The name says it all
Summary: 5 Stars
How could I possibly give this any less than five stars? Street Trash is easily one of the most monumentally tasteless movies I've ever seen, and frankly I applaud it. Considering that this is strictly B-movie material, it's surprisingly well made and can easily ranks as one of the best of it's kind that I've ever seen.
Although Street Trash is virtually plotless, the main focus follows the story of an ages old case of Tenefly Viper that Ed the liquor store owner finds stored away behind a wall in his basement. While most would toss the stuff out, Ed decides he'll try turn a bit of profit by selling it to the local hordes of homeless folk for a buck a bottle. Little does he know that the Viper hasn't aged very well, and that a mere swig of it causes the consumer to melt into a puddle of multi-colored ooze, or explode in one case. Meanwhile we follow our main characters, two homeless brothers, as they struggle to find comfort in their junkyard home. We also meet a cop who is out to get the junk yard ruler, a crazed and tyrannical vietnam vet named Bronson who wields a knife fashioned from a human femur bone.
There's a lot going on in Street Trash regarding the "story". Some of it comes together in the end, some remains pointless, but who really cares? The movie keeps you entertained from start to finish with excessive gore, outlandish characters, and low brow humor. It also makes swipes at the obese, a number of races and ethnicites, women, and much more. The gore effects look excellent, especially the melting scenes and the final show down with Bronson. Street Trash also makes a top notch tutorial if you are ever looking for new ways to incorporate the F word into every day language, it is used here in ways some have probably never thought possible.
If you're looking for gore riddled campy fun with weird synth music, Street Trash is one of your all around best bets. If you're easily offended, this will probably cause you to have a stroke. That being said, enjoy!
Description of Street Trash
Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 09/26/2006Sure, Street Trash has a convoluted, ridiculous plot, but it also features bums who melt into rainbow sludge upon drinking a fermented relative of Thunderbird, Tenafly Viper. In this '80s B-movie akin to The Toxic Avenger or C.H.U.D., Fred (Mike Lackey) is the main homeless guy who distributes Viper he's lifted from the local liquor store. Once he discovers the alcohol's lethal potential, he wields it as a weapon, eventually fighting head criminal, Bronson, a psycho-killer Vietnam vet who carries a human femur bone handle knife. Side plots, such as one involving a begrudging policeman who seeks to clean up the Street Trash community housed in a junkyard, or the one featuring Wendy, the hot girl who guards runaways from the junkyard's fat, mean owner, are beside the point. Watch Street Trash for its infamous penis scene, in which a member is chopped off and tossed around in a game of keep away, or watch the film to see a man melt down into a blue pile as he's flushed down a toilet bowl. Street Trash's gore isn't so disturbing as it is comic, as are the bums' New Romantic costumes similar to Dexy's Midnight Runners in the video for their '80s hit, "Come On Eileen." Applaud Street Trash for its gaudy, horrendous splendor. Notably, this re-release contains the original Super-8 short of the film, featuring even more homemade special effects and low-grade humor.--Trinie Dalton
