Guardian

Tedious stretches of vulgar banter are interspersed with equally dull interludes during which people melt. Then it finally gets resolved after 85 very long minutes.

Rated: 2/5

The People's Movies

It feels like something is missing that made the original work so well against all the odds, but its solid performances and grim special effects make it a thoroughly enjoyable watch for fans of bubbling flesh and oozing wounds.

Rated: 3/5

The show-stopping practical effects remain faithful to the spirit of the original film – even if its more unsavoury flavours may have been diluted with a surprising shot of sweetness.

Rated: 4/5

Has all the subversive vibrations from the original throbbing like neon. Sit back and get ready to melt into your chair.

Street Trash is a goofy, gloopy movie that has more to legitimately say about how we live now than any number of "socially relevant" prestige Oscar-bait dramas that dominate theaters this time of year.

Daily Dead

It's a cacophony of fever-dream nonsense that comes together without reason … a little bit of everything with an unfortunate outcome.

Street Trash is wild, hilarious, and unapologetically South African. Think Fight Club chaos meets Ghostbusters absurdity, with a dash of District 9 grit. The playful camera work and over-the-top gore give it cult-classic energy. It's a bold, messy, outrageous ride—perfect for a fun popcorn movie night.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Made it 15 minutes and gave up before my brain melted any more. Not for me.

Solid overall, but not quite as endearing as the original. It doesn’t expand on the first version in anyway, rather it’s just a slightly less imaginative rehashing with an updated set of special effects. If you like over the top body horror then there are worse films out there.

It's like Robocop meets early Peter Jackson, but bad. The jokes are either lame or annoying and the gas chamber part is completely the wrong kind of tasteless. The gore parts are very good the first two or three times, but then get repetitive (I know it's the same toxic gas, but it's not like anybody cares with this kind of movie that it works consistently.) I did like the song over the end credits.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

A fun, oozy movie to watch with your friends. Loved it. Anyone who liked the original. should like this one. It's exactly what I expected going into this movie.

Outside of some general conceptual undertones there's not much similarity to the original. Always a fan of a film that leans into practical effects like they did here.
