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.

Rated: 2/5

The update doesn’t match the ’87 endeavor, as Kruger struggles with uneven tone and weak humor throughout the offering, which only really comes alive when destroying bodies.

Rated: C

One thing this version of Street Trash does even better than the original is take a direct, very deliberate stand on the side of the oppressed against those who all too often violently oppress them.

Rated: 3.5/5

IGN Movies

While his storytelling goals are admirable and his practical effects impressive, Kruger's tones are all over the map, his attempt to convey both drama and a clear political message sanitizing the film's transgressive underground appeal.

Rated: 5/10

The Viper Is Back Baby! Melt down madness to the core. The movie is shot brilliantly from A cinematic perspective On 35mm technoscope, which just shows how much love and respect Ryan Kruger has for the 80's and this movie in General. What an ode to A timenof body melt horror and splatter fests of past times! The effects are stunning, the meltdowns were done extremely well. Gashing, glorious colors and glop! The characters are developed well with A raunchy sense of humor, the writing was quite briliant for those who get it. The dregs of society have so much heart it will leave you rooting for the underdogs of thos tasteful tale! (Mhmm viper never tasted so good!) Sockle was A breathe of fresh air, who would chime in at the most unsettling of times. The Mayor Was cast perfectly, you love to hate him and can't wait til he gets A taste of the Tenefly! At times it kind of gives shades of hobo with A shot gun vibes, mixed with they live ya' know us vs. Them rising up against the rich! The film it self is absolutely Gorgeous, the plot is great, I honestly don't know what more that you could want out of A Street Trash movie in 2024, it has plenty of easter eggs and odes to the original. To be quite honest the original wasn't that great, as well as alot of 80's movies that horror fans seem to dick ride til' no end. This was A refreshing look on A rather stale genre (body melt horror, splatter) Things are looking bright for the future of Ryan Kruger and his crew, looking to see much more from him as A writer and director. Overall 10/10.

Forced comedy that gets old pretty quickly and decends into a messy action movie, the original movie was just about filthy people living in a scrap yard, the viper wine was more of a side plot
