If you’ve never seen a man melt before, prepare yourself for the original Street Trash, now streaming on SCREAMBOX.
The 1987 cult classic splatterfest presages the streaming release of the SCREAMBOX Original reboot, which will be arriving on the platforms this coming December. It’s available today on Digital HD.
In James Muro’s cult classic…
“In the sleazy, foreboding world of winos, derelicts and drifters in lower Manhattan, two young runaways—eighteen-year-old Fred (Mike Lackey) and his younger brother, Kevin (Mark Sferrazza)—live in a tire hut in the back of an auto wrecking yard. Life is hard, but the most lethal threat to the boys is the mysterious case of Tenafly Viper wine in Ed’s liquor store window. The stuff is forty years old… and it’s gone bad. REAL bad! Anyone who drinks it melts in seconds—and it’s only a dollar a bottle!”
Read Meagan’s take on the 1987 gonzo splatterfest right here.
“If you’re a fan of sleaze and a whole lot of gooey, crass shenanigans, this formative Melt Movie is a must,” she writes. “It’s goofy, exploitative, over the top, and gory. Underneath it all lurks some wry social commentary, but there’s enough humor happening on screen to distract if that’s not your thing. Street Trash doesn’t hold a candle to the goriest that horror has to offer, but it does present a different type of extreme in envelope-pushing humor. It’s pure cult cinema.”
