Street Trash
dir. J. Michael Muro · 1987
Life can be chaotic and destructive, often leading to unexpected and grotesque consequences.
A liquor store owner stumbles upon a case of "Viper," a toxic brew that turns its drinkers into puddles of goo. As the homeless community grapples with the consequences of this deadly concoction, they also face the violent wrath of Bronson, a sociopathic Vietnam vet. Watching this film is like being thrust into a fever dream where absurdity and horror collide, leaving you both horrified and amused.
When a liquor store owner finds a case of "Viper" in his cellar, he decides to sell it to the local hobos at one dollar a bottle, unaware of its true properties. The drinks causes its consumers to melt, very messily. Two homeless lads find themselves up against the effects of the toxic brew, as well as going head to head with "Bronson" a Vietnam vet with sociopathic tendencies, and the owner of the junkyard they live in.
