Walter Goodman New York Times It claims no redeeming social value, and you don't have to be a Supreme Court nominee to question whether the Founders could have foreseen anything like it when they wrote the First Amendment. May 21, 2003 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Street Trash feels so determined to offend every demographic that it abandons any relationship with audiences besides an ironic one. Rated: 1/4 Feb 17, 2022 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore The crux of Street Trash- the homeless are disregarded except when it comes to any way a business/organisation can capitalise on their existence Rated: 3/5 May 1, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's 22-year-old director Jim Muro's only film. Rated: B- Jul 9, 2014 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com It's an amazing gross-out endeavor, and mercifully a movie that cares enough to put a little elbow grease into its buffet of bubbling bodies. Rated: B Aug 3, 2013 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault This very gross, mean-spirited and ugly horror-comedy has much to recommend it. Rated: A Apr 9, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Jay H This just might be the ugliest movie ever made. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review Chris M I know it was my fault for expecting more from a movie called “Street Trash”, I’m going to ignore the offensive way they portray the homeless, as that’s not the biggest issue. The movie is unfocused. It opens with a guy getting pulled out of his car and slammed hard enough on the windshield to kill him, why? Never explained. He also has a sign that says “No homeless” but he looks like he hasn’t bathed in like 20 years or more, he sits on a throne in the junk yard, which says to homeless to me. Plus, only one bottle of the booze is used. And I know I said this before the problem with “Show don’t tell.” Is when the audience has no clue what the movie is showing doesn’t make sense. Like random booze that cause people to melt? Great, by why? Was it made from toxic waste water? Is just fermented toxic waste? Basic story telling is who, what, when, where and why. The why is missing and how is important too. I don’t need everything from a movie spoon fed to me, but a tiny bit would help. The melt effects are incredible but the rest is an unfocused mess. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Raiodesol S Maybe it's just me, but this movie seems a bit unsure of itself, trying to manage too many storylines at once and not giving enough depth to its characters. I also watched this movie with a bunch of people expecting it to be more horror ish, so that influences my experience. Nonetheless this movie has amazing (like a lot of 80s b movies) makeup and practical effects, enough to make my friends say "eww I don't know if I want to watch that". Anyways, I think cutting unnecessary bits and characters, this could a much more interesting movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Joshua H Not a bad movie, but it could've been better if it where more focused on the main plot Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review Cedric G This movie made absolutely made no fu*##ng sense and the plot was all over the place but as a fan of cheesy 80's horror and B-movies it's entertaining from start to finish. And if gore is your thing you'll love it! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/23 Full Review Ek Very funny movie comedy horror Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
