Street Trash(1987)




The owner of a liquor store finds a dusty box of really cheap wine called Tenafly Viper in a crawlspace. He then begins to sell it off at a dollar a bottle. The cheap wine is obviously bad but sells it to the local hobo's anyway. Little did he know, that everyone who drinks it melts almost instantaneously. This film was originally supposed to offend everyone, but it became a favorite for midnight viewings.


This cult classic has recently been released by Synapse Films twice. The first release had really awesome Tenafly Viper labels, with almost nothing else except a trailer and some notes. The newer Special Meltdown edition has a new documentary and interviews with the cast and crew. This films effects are just amazing.


The people bubble and melt down spewing purple and green goo. Keep a look out for random breast shots also. Who knew a movie about melting liqour could be one of the greatest horror-comedies of the 80's. Watching people melt into a shitty toilet, what could possibly be wrong with this film?
