Movie Reviews of Street Trash - Meltdown Edition
Movie Review: a devastating blow to my dvd collection
Summary: 1 Stars
I heard about Street Trash through an exploitation website that had a myriad of sleazy pictures from all over the world that whetted my appetite for gratuitous sex and violence. When I recently decided to purchase a bunch of DVDs that I've been telling myself to get for years I thought it would be a good idea to throw in one of the better sounding movies from this site. Street Trash was the safest. A cheap liquor that causes people to melt! (or combust if you happen to be an obese bum) No, a woman gets gang raped by rabid hobos?! Is there anything more dreadful than that? Heavens no! And a shell shocked bum built like a pro wrestler is ruling the underground with an iron fist. How could you go wrong? It got four and a half stars from the amateur critics at Amazon, which is what films like Glengary Glenn Ross and Naked mustered up, so if a movie this ridiculous got the same reception it must be an unforgetable, campy cult classic like the Evil Dead movies. So now I own a copy.
It is so awful. Awful! What a waste. The deaths from the caustic liqour were few and far between, barely even used as a plot device. The stuff that could've got your stomach churning failed because they delt with it in such an inane inneffectual fashion.
SPOIL ALERT (i guess): Like the keep away with the severed dong and the chick being raped one more time postmortem by the fat junkyard owner.
It has the sense of humor of a sequel to Revenge of the Nerds. The only funny part was when the black bum berated an old white lady at the grocers. He was the only bum that had the spunky spirit of the fun bums that are usually in these kinds of movies the rest of the bums were generic with the exception of the main bum who was some kind of lameo smart-aleck that whined all the time. Him and his brother seemed to be hobo poseurs. The dirt on their face was so contrived, like they applied it to themselves like makeup.
Basically, it wasn't intentionally funny ala Evil Dead 2 and it wasn't so over-the-top and humorless that it was unintentionally hilarious like Class of 1984. So any sel-respecting person who'd usually be attracted to this sort of movie for kicks and giggles should know it's in that cheesy middle ground that makes it useless. Maybe it doesn't deserve one star but it's to give it a lower rating since people here give away gold stars like hippie fourth grade teachers. I disown this DVD!
