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.
In the sleazy, foreboding world of winos, derelicts and drifters in lower Manhattan, two young runaways – eighteen-year-old Fred and his younger brother, Kevin, live in a tire hut in the back of a vast auto wrecking yard. Fred is burnt-out by the forces that destroyed his family life, whereas Kevin, having missed much of their childhood trauma, yearns to get back into society and lead a normal life. 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 bad...real bad. Anyone who drinks it melts within seconds…but it’s only a dollar a bottle!!
The bums are lining up for their deaths like moths at a flame, with Fred standing right there amongst them.
Goddamn, consistent quality at the Coolidge lately.

I just yelled 'dont you ever talk to me like that in front of the men! I used to make women like you parade around the building bare pussy... Bitch!' at a girl I work with. She did not lol, which means she has obvi never seen street trash and is therefore false and should not entry.
Holy crap! The Beyond is playing in a few weeks...
fuckin THIS... Also, this movie validated my life. I had to hold back tears of joy when melt-bum number one flushed himself down the toilet. Been waiting too long for this in theatres. Oh and I dont think anyone else couldve played before this movie and pulled it off. Cheers t Sexcrement.
