10 Outrageously Gory Horror Films You Need To See

Expanded from a short film, Street Trash is your average story about homeless alcoholics who begin to melt after consuming Viper, a mysterious liquor peddled by a sleazy store owner. Made for $500,000, the picture belies its budget with decent effects (check out the exploding fat man), which go some way to making up for the lack of actual plot.

There’s a sequence where people play catch with a severed penis that’s as funny/tasteless as anything filmed by John Waters, and James Lorinz (Frankenhooker) is amusing as a mob doorman. In a move certain to divide audiences, the film makes its characters as vile as possible, all in the name of setting up the next gross-‘em-out gag. There’s necrophilia, casual racism, police brutality, misogyny and, in the film’s biggest misstep, gang rape.

After following Fred (Mike Lackey) for half the movie, the viewer expects more from their “hero” than to see him kidnap and rape a gangster’s wife. That floats a little too close to what Waters called “bad bad taste”, but then again, Waters loved the movie, so judge for yourself.
