Review of Street Trash

I've heard many things about this movie over the years. It's got a cult reputation, and I finally decided to check it out. I really enjoyed the audaciousness, the originality, and the sheer audacity to make a film of this magnitude. It's offensive, outlandish, nasty, outrageous, and I loved every minute of it. I consider this movie to be a great character study of the drunk and homeless. Almost every character in this movie is broke, filthy, living on the street, and drunkards. They are the stars of this movie. It has virtually no story. It's a random string of events from the very twisted mind of Director, J. Michael Munro. As reviewers have rightfully pointed out, this would never be made today. It's filmed on the streets of NYC, and a lot has changed since then. I often wondered what Munro was on when he came up with this movie. Was it the good old "Cheech and Chong" type stuff? He had to be smoking some good stuff. I can't see how you could come up with this sort of nonsensical stuff sober. If he did come up with it sober, he needs help. The homeless are not made to be sympathetic. Many of them are loudmouth idiots, and I couldn't help but be entertained by it. I wouldn't call this movie a gore fest but you'll see things your imagination couldn't come up with if your life depended on it. We get a beheading by a missile, a body explodes in graphic detail, bodies fall apart in all kinds of different colors, and a guy forcefully goes down a toilet. There are some hints of necrophilia, and more. Gore hounds will be pleased. The acting is nothing to write home about. Everyone is completely awful, and amateurish.

Final Thoughts: What can I say? I enjoyed the hell out of it. It's so, enjoyably trashy. Is it a good movie? Hell no. It makes no sense what so ever, and it's cheap. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. It'll have people mixed

7.6/10
