Blu-ray Review – Street Trash

It's difficult to be truly offended by "Street Trash" because the
picture is designed to repulse. It's not a movie for the faint of heart
or the easily disturbed, spending 100 minutes running through all sorts
of grotesqueries, sticky incidents, and nasty behavior, forging a
subgenre known as "melt," which is exactly what the brand promises. The
film is vile and frenzied, but it's also shockingly well made, crafted
by a production team taking the challenge of a splatter film seriously,
generating an outstandingly designed and photographed effort that's
beguiling in its screen toxicity. Nobody's going to mistake "Street
Trash" for Shakespeare, but saddled with a low budget and a premise that
all but demands immediate dismissal, the endeavor somehow emerges
slickly crafted and darkly comic, only overstepping its authority
occasionally, perhaps just to make sure the viewer doesn't grow
complacent with this phantasmagoria of carnival-colored death. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
