Street Trash (1987) directed by J. Michael Muro
I express disdain for thee. Provide me with a bottle of spirits in exchange for this coin, and attend to my request, if you would.
Each individual fancies themselves a fiery gangster, assuming the persona of Mister Mafia. Ah, the Don! The Don of Douchebags, such a title befits you. Nick - Nick the Dick, whispered behind your back, directed toward both yourself and your establishment, that malodorous restaurant of yours.

Street Trash
Things in New York are about to go down the toilet.
"Body Melt (1993) ain’t here, so Street Trash is gonna have to pick up the slack! A liquor store owner finds a case of cheap, 60-year-old booze in his basement and decides to sell it. Tenafly Viper’s rad packaging isn’t the only thing killer about it though; unfortunate consumers are subject to melting like human-sized candles. What makes Street Trash special is its presentation. As characters die, their blood and innards spill out in shades of purple, blue, green, and yellow. Gory death scenes aren’t just gory death scenes, they’re colourful spectacles! Horrific eye candy!"
The Human Centipede (First Sequence)
Their flesh is his fantasy.
"human centipede is the kind of body horror that should be exclusive to fucked up nightmares but instead someone made a movie (three of them actually) about it. you've got to respect that."
"it would be funny"

🎃HALLOWEEN LIST 2023🎃
I watched Street Trash (1987)
Never seen this, always wanted to. I'm in for what promises to be a gross-out good time.....or so I'm told.
A liquor store owner starts selling contaminated booze to the homeless community without knowing it has disastrous side effects.
Where would we be without splatter and body horror? Nowhere.
These are sub genres of horror that are often the most effective at turning our stomachs and sticking with us after we leave the theater.
Street Trash is a body horror which is alot like a Troma film, in the way it holds high the gore and wild insanity of pure.....well......pure trash.
Director J. Michael Muro works mainly as a cinematographer, and his talent for it is evident here. The movie features excellent camera work and quite a nice bit of cinematography. There's some really good shots here.
The plot concerns the homeless and the overwhelming amount of Vietnam Vets. Is the movie trying to make a statement? Maybe. But it never really casts any group of people in a good or sympathetic light. I can't say I really walked away liking any of the characters. They're mostly homeless and veteran characters who feel more despicable than they should, which works okay for the problematic comedy they're going for.
What makes Street Trash stand out from other horror flicks is it's balance of a unique horror style. The overuse of bright colorful slime only adds to the weird and disgusting feeling of the movie. People breakdown into fluorescent greens and purples and blues and yellows, melting into acidic paint splatter and sizzling bones. On top of that, street Trash uses a heightened version of the real world to create a film designed to make the audience offended. I mentioned Troma films earlier, and if you've seen a Troma film, you know the purposeful offensive type of stuff I'm talking about. While it's not my favorite style of in your face cinema, I'd argue it has it's place, and I'd argue Street Trash is the better version of a Troma film, simply because it's technically better.
Its fun in places, but it's dirty atmosphere and it's lack of direction began to bum me out a bit. There's not much in the way of a main character and every character in it kind of sucks, and it's view of the world is funny at first and then it gets depressing. Then you realize how much it wants you to laugh at slurs and sexual assault and homeless people. It's just not really enjoyable when watching through today's more progressive and empathetic lens.
The special effects are gross and cool.
