Street Trash (1987)

Design by CavityColors
Synopsis: A series of crimes and strange deaths related to tainted liquor plague a homeless man and his little brother.

The Good: This movie is unique, to say the least. Considering I'm sure it had a low budge and the director was only 22, the cinematography is fantastic. There are some great gross gags and dark humor in this one.

The Bad: The movie has trash in it's name and in a lot of ways that's reflected in the content. There's all sorts of inappropriate humor, thoughtless treatment of mental illness and PTSD, and racially and sexually insensitive language... not to mention a sexual assault that leads to murder and necrophilia.

Final Thoughts: I read about this a few years back. I was pleasantly surprised to find this on Shudder. It's a bizarre/offensive flick, but I still enjoyed it.

In Your Game: While I think they should be treated with more respect, the homeless folks in the flick and society could provide good inspiration for a Vigilante City game that doesn't involve megahumans.

Tenafly Viper - Any human drinking this liquor will explode in bloody, coloful goo. This goo is acidic and those within 15' must making a DC 15 Dexterity check or take 2d6 points of acid damage. If you you have access to Vigilante City, anyone hit by the goo must roll on the Mutant Deformity Chart. Mutants drinking must make a Death saving throw. If successful they roll 1d4 times on the  Mutant Deformity Chart. If they fail they die like a human.

Seriously contemplating ordering this shirt. Also, I think this would be a fun cursed item for Cade's Big Book 'o Booze.
