Street Trash
DVD/APPROX. 102 MINS/1987/USA UNRATED
This movie has been out of print for some time, but thankfully it has just been released on DVD in its true uncut form. And it's about friggin time,
because this movie is awesome.
This is probably the only movie where you see a bunch of homeless dudes play monkey in the middle with a severed penis. It may sound funny,
but it's even better on the TV screen. For you necrophiliac's out there, R.L Ryan (the big guy in a bunch of Troma films, including "The Toxic
Avenger") has a touching scene with a corpse, who had already been raped by about 45 bums in order. Some liquor store owner finds some drink
called "Tenefly Viper" which has a powerful side effect causing everyone who drinks it to melt into a puddle of green snot looking ooze. The gore
effects are actually done pretty well in these scenes.
There's this one character who's Vietnam vet (the guy who played him was one in real life), who has some extremely disturbing flashback scenes,
guaranteed to send whoever is watching this with you into the other room. For a indie movie this fully revolting and gory, but it is made
surprisingly well. The camera work is incredible, the gore is done well, and the acting isn't as god-awful as one might come to expect. You may
actually think the actors in these roles are real life homeless people, and it has some decent writing. I did enjoy this movie, but I can't really qualify
it as a good movie. But it is highly recommended , if you have a strong stomach of course.

In the sleazy, foreboding world of winos, derelicts and drifters in lower Manhattan, two young runaways - eighteen-year-old Fred (Mike Lackey) and his younger brother, Kevin (Mark Sferrazza), live in a tire but in the back of a vast auto wrecking yard. The most lethal threat to the boys is the case of Tenafly Viper in Ed's liquor store window. Ed found the cheapo wine behind a wall in his basement. The stuff's forty years old, and it's gone real bad. Anyone who drinks it melts within seconds! And it's only a dollar a bottle!!
Street Trash is the subversive cult classic horror-comedy that rode the last wave of super-gore in the late '80s before the curtain fell on such outrageous material and we entered an era of safe, 'R' rated horror flicks and endless, unoriginal remakes. One of the most requested titles in Synapse Films history, this Special Two-Disc Meltdown Edition contains the amazing two-hour documentary, The Meltdown Memoirs and explosive Special Features!
