Watch Street Trash For Free

Crappy film

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

"Street Trash" is a classic example of a movie that was based on an idea for a short film that really didn't transfer to feature length.In a short film, you might not notice that there's basically no plot, and it would have been kept afloat with its nifty gore effects.Stretched out to an hour and forty minutes, however, the film is too unwound, with far too much filler in between the sparse gory moments (the only reason anyone would watch it), and very little to link the scenes together.The "plot", if you can really call it that, is something to do with alcohol that makes people "melt", their bodies turning into psychedelic goo which runs off their skeletons. This alcohol is discovered by a group of bums who live in a wrecking yard.There is also an "infamous" scene where a man is caught urinating out the window of his shack, and has his penis lopped off for his trouble. The bums then play catch with it.For a so-called "gore movie", this scene is surprisingly bloodless. It is played more for laughs than anything. You can't believe that a man really lost his penis in this scene; it looks more like they're tossing a dildo around. This scene also has no bearing on the rest of the movie.Overall, I think all "Street Trash" really has to set it apart from any other movie is the weird "melting" effect that it showcases occasionally. This is the vaunted "gore" the genre supposedly promises, though, again, there's no blood. Instead it looks like the person's body suddenly turned into fluorescent paint. Choosing to do it this way makes for a nifty effect. The only other quality the movie has that might make you remember it is its complete lack of story or characters, as it had nobody to root for, no one to care about, and doesn't really have any villains. It's just tedium occasionally interrupted by a gore effect, and the gaps in between these effects really tried my patience.

OK I bought this movie because it was highly rated as a good cheesy horror movie. It's not. There is a fine line between good cheesy horror and just plain stupid. No one even gets chewed in the movie, just a half dozen bums who drink this liquor then melt. The entire time I was waiting for the movie to "get going" as in lots of carnage but it never did. It is punctuated with this retarded guy from Vietnam who has flashbacks and is just plain weird. Granted there are a few funny parts in the movie and a few funny deaths but they are few and far between. If you really want good cheesy horror and just an all around good movie check these out in order:1. The Return of the Living Dead 2. Dead Alive 3. Dawn of the Dead 4. Black Sheep 5. UndeadThe above movies are insane, they will have you rolling laughing but they engage you. The point is that the above movies set out with the premise that they are over the top and ridiculous. Street Trash tries to have some plot and be serious and fails miserably.

Liquor store owner Ed (M. D'Jango Krunch) is nosing around in his basement when he finds some VERY old booze labelled "Tenafly Viper". He figures, what the hell, he'll sell it to his customers for $1 a bottle. But this booze is deadly stuff: when people drink it, they explode into goop in all colours of the rainbow. While the body count rises, the story focuses on two street denizens who are brothers: Fred (Mike Lackey) and Kevin (Mark Sferrazza) who take up residence in a spacious auto junkyard along with various other hobos."Street Trash" marks, to date, the only theatrical directing credit for James M. Muro, who went on to Hollywood and became one of the most in-demand Steadicam operators in the business. Basing this movie on a short subject he'd made, he clearly has some real fun with the material. The Manhattan-based production makes some excellent use of locations, and has some very striking characters. Among them is the almighty Bronson (Vic Noto), a psychotic Vietnam veteran with a bunch of flunkies. Sexy Jane Arakawa, a gal with a great pair of legs, is the secretary who takes sympathy on Fred & Kevin and their cronies. Pat Ryan ("The Toxic Avenger") is her horny, scuzzy boss. And Bill Chepil is the surly, hard driving detective working these streets.The makeup effects are wonderfully gross and effective. There are scenes here so memorable that they remain favourites for fans: Burts' impromptu shopping trip, and the entire "penis keepaway" sequence. One brilliant gag occurs early on when Bronson manhandles a nerdy motorist. The two best characters are thuggish restaurant owner Nick Duran (Tony Darrow) and his smart mouthed doorman (James Lorinz of "Frankenhooker"). Muro and company know that their scenes are some of the funniest here, so they keep their story going during the end credits.While "Street Trash" took about 13 weeks to shoot, its journey to movie screens took about three years. It proves that filmmaking finesse isn't always everything: sometimes gung-ho enthusiasm and the willingness to pull out all the stops can go a long way too.Eight out of 10.

One reviewer said "Anyone dumb enough to see this movie and be taken aback by its admittedly sordid contents has exactly what they have coming to them." Well I've seen some pretty sick movie's and nothing in this movie made me sick. Admittedly the melt scenes are pretty cool but there really is not point to them because this movie has ZERO plot. If you're looking to feel dirtier than watching porn yet bored to death you will love this movie. As to being a funny horror comedy? absolutely not. If you want that go watch Dale And Tucker or something because this isn't funny.Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen.
