In the sleazy, foreboding world of winos, derelicts, and drifters in lower Manhattan, two young runaways - Fred (Mike Lackey) and his young brother, Kevin (Mark Sferrazza), live in a tire hut in the back of a vast auto wrecking yard. The most lethal threat to the boys is the case of Tenafly Viper, which melts people within seconds of drinking it! And it's only a dollar a bottle! (official distributor synopsis)

Street Trash is definitely not extremely bloody, as Pomo writes here (hello). You will hardly see any blood, but there are such "delicacies" as foosball with a severed penis (without blood), six people melting into a shapeless colored mass, there is even a scene with a bunch of homeless people jerking off while watching someone fuck, their walk and movements reminiscent of a bunch of zombies. There is also one bloated body that subsequently explodes (very similar to the fat man scene from Monthy Python's The Meaning of Life) and even a police investigator deliberately throwing up on a wanted murderer. And the story? The whole thing revolves around a liquor store where homeless people go to get a bottle of some beverage called Viper, after which they melt or explode. It looks very cheap, with lots of filth, shots of junkyards, disgusting individuals and a few surprisingly funny moments.

The film Street Trash is still a relatively good representative of its subgenre, and in the end, you probably get what you want from it. Plus there's a really good scene at the end where you get some funny gore. This is definitely not easy, but they managed to pull it off here. However, the characters are so ugly that it's hard to get into the movie. But that's also the point. And the effects are just really good and I enjoyed them.

Amateurishly spasmodic, vulgar, boorish and comically bloody. Street Trash would have benefitted from having its runtime reduced by the 20 minutes focusing on needless characters. Even with those characters, however, Street Trash is a generally well-made amateur movie that will be appreciated especially by lovers of the greatest degradation, if only because of the camerawork and incredible splatter scenes.
