THE ORIGINAL FILM
In the original film, a liquor store in Brooklyn starts selling cheap alcoholic beverages to local hobos. The beverages date to the 1920s, and are actually poisonous. At the same time, a local cop investigates the series of unexplained deaths, and homeless veterans of the Vietnam War group together as a dangerous gang.
Over the years, the film has acquired a status as a cult classic independent horror-comedy and is one of a number of films known as “melt movies”. And fans of the film will remember the infamous “severed privates” scene where a group of homeless people play catch with the severed genitals of one of their number, as he futilely attempts to recover it.
Street Trash will be released in select UK cinemas from January 10th. And on Digital & Blu-ray from February 17.
