A somewhat decent if highly problematic remake

Forced out onto the streets, a homeless woman meets up with a friendly group of people stuck in a situation like her and sets about trying to help them overcome the exploits of a tyrannical mayor looking to wipe out the homeless population with a special body-melting chemical.This was a rather disappointing if still watchable enough genre effort. Among the best aspects of this one is a rather strong and topical storyline that manages to hit on a very current aspect of society. The series of political satire attempted here involving the plight of the homeless and how they're left on their own despite the protestations and promises of the rich to provide and care for them in their campaign speeches talks about the current issues involving what to do with the homeless in the real world. The poor are left to fend for themselves in the broken-down, rat-infested slums they are shown to live in and are unable to care for themselves or each other even though there's a real effort made to bring about a sympathetic vibe to them compared to the more antagonistic approach given to the political rantings of the authorities that prove them to be in control of society and doing what they can to keep themselves in power to spite the homeless. It's a solid enough take that offers a decent enough starting point for everything. This starting point offers a great display of body meltdowns and disintegrations that are featured throughout here. The goopy, viscous-style effects are quite fun with the multi-colored liquids emerging from every orifice possible as the skin melts down and falls off or limbs drop to the ground making for a great touch here bringing about no shortage of graphic and bloody sequences. Whether it's just random passersby on the streets who we get to see the effects of the chemical or the friends who are trying to fight back against the corrupt authorities in their way as they try to carry out their special plan to wipe out the homeless on the streets, the scenes here provide a fun series of ideas depicting the various stages of their bodies getting dismembered and falling apart which are wholly cheesy and silly to witness as the physical approach keeps everything immensely fun. Mixed in with some brutal hand-to-hand Action and shootouts to be quite enjoyable, there's plenty to like with this one at points. That said, there are some factors here holding this one back. That mostly centers on the film not being all that interesting when it's not dealing with the body meltdowns or the Action scenes as the fight for human rights and equality is not that interesting to see play out. The pacing in the first hour is quite bland as we get plenty of their day-to-day lives, the political satire of the war against them by the elites, and the discovery about everything going on that comes with this particular story that never really delves into the horror of any kind which leaves a feeling more in line with a high-energy Action film than horror. Focusing on shootouts, gun-battles, and the occasional use of the gas to melt people down as a way of helping them achieve their mission than anything else, this might not be a genuine issue but can easily be a factor to drag this down in the end.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

A worthy "spiritual sequel" to the terrible original

The original Street Trash from 1987 is a monolithic case in the sense that it notably conjured some of the most iconic imagery in perhaps the entire history of TRASH CINEMA. It's concept is also as perfect as one gets for this sort of film. But, what people don't mention as much is that, outside of it's iconic hyper-colored melt sequences, it's a TERRIBLE movie.So, here, 37 years later, we have a remake coming out of South Africa, and honestly, I think it's kind of exactly what I hoped it would be. Though it's still blatantly and seemingly purposefully a "bad movie", it's very self-aware, so much that the random blue puppet-like creature who only appears to crack bottom-tier jokes about fellatio when hobos are hallucinating after drinking too much "Viper" is fully fitting and acceptable. While it's often being marketed as a remake, I think it best to think of it more as a spiritual sequel, sort of like Evil Dead (2013). It's packed to the brim with bright neon melt sequences, bodies dripping every colored ooze you can imagine, front to back. Most of the jokes are so bad that you can actually appreciate them for being so consistent, even if you're not laughing, but bad jokes aside, the whole thing feels really inspired and pretty fresh. Even the characters, albeit strong acting ability, manage to each have quite a lot of charisma, often making this feel like some gnarly Saturday morning cartoon from the late 80's or early 90's.For fans of trash horror, and cult classics in general, this is 100% worthy of your viewing. All fans of the original should absolutely see it as well. For anyone else, probably not. This is the epitome of a movie made for a SPECIFIC AUDIENCE.

Forgettable remake of classic original

So apparently a remake of the '80s cult classic horror movie "Street Trash" was made in South Africa this year. I just watched it and it's got nothing on that original, and still very unique, movie. If you want a b-grade splatter flick, then I guess this remake might wag your tail. But I found it pretty forgettable.The original movie didn't really have a plot, which is what made it so cool. Well, that and the fluorescent gore effects. It was just a series of riffs on splatter themes mixed with comedy and a sly wink at the audience that let you know the filmmakers were having fun and wanted us to join in. Considering it's well remembered by cult film fans decades later, I think it's fair to say we did.This remake has more plot, seemingly, though it doesn't really make sense. It's homeless people again, including a Yiddish-spouting guy who looks a lot like Stanley Kubrick, and another one played by that extraordinary South African actor from the director's previous, and superior, "Fried Barry", who looks like a cross between Bad Boy Bubby and a caveman.The way his eyes are clear but apparently see nothing, and the way he blinks and stands still like he's patiently waiting for somebody to tell him what to do, reminds me of the character creation screen in a CRPG.He steals every scene he's in, simply by virtue of him being in it. He doesn't have to do anything, he's just such a bizarre specimen you always find yourself looking at him.The same can't be said for the guy who plays the main character, unfortunately.The plot, as near as I can tell, is something to do with a rich South African trying to kill the country's homeless population. I didn't really understand it.They should have had the guts to make a plotless movie, like the original one was. This movie is unhinged and crazy enough- or seems to want to be - to pull it off. But the plot keeps getting in the way, such as it is.
