In the year 2050, global economic turmoil has destroyed the middle class in Cape Town, South Africa, which is now divided between the ultra-rich and the displaced. Ronald and a group of fellow houseless friends uncover a plot by the local government to 'wash away' the houseless population with a sinister chemical agent called 'V.' Now, they must risk everything to expose the truth and resist a society that's determined to erase them.

2/5

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.

3/5

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.

4/5

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.

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.

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

Extremely campy and catchy, but the characters are funny and I care about them. I would recommend this if you’re planning on drinking a bottle of wine while watching. Maybe throw in two shots of bourbon just to make sure. To me, it’s funny and charming. Tarantino has absolutely nothing to worry about though.

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.

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

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.

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.
