Street Trash is a splatter - trash film of Jim Muro . He won the Silver Raven at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival . The film is one of the cult films among the B-movies and, together with films like The Incredible Melting Man, belongs to the subgenre of melt movies .
Street Trash lives from its bizarre humor, a wacky but coherent story, the lovingly characterized protagonists and numerous well-implemented splatter effects.
action
When a liquor dealer in Brooklyn (New York) finds a dusty box with an unknown drink called "Viper" in his basement, the story begins. The schnapps is sold to customers for one US dollar , to "fallen figures", Vietnam veterans and bums who live as homeless people in the junkyard in a house made of car tires and have built their own community there.
The potion, sold for a dollar, wreaked havoc on the human body. The causes of death vary from melting and dispersing to explosions. Besides, it's about everything that makes a film like this: the love of two protagonists that the boss of the junkyard wants to thwart, the sex murder of a drunk woman and exemplarily the Vietnam War trauma of an entire generation of US soldiers.
credentials
New York filmmaker and author Greg Lamberson pays tribute to Street Trash in his 2010 meltdown movie Slime City Massacre by showing a melted corpse holding a bottle of "Viper" in one scene. Roy Frumkes , the producer and screenwriter of Street Trash , was Lamberson's lecturer at the School of Visual Arts in New York City in the 1980s .
