A liquor store owner finds a crate of Viper alcohol in his basement which he sells to dirty bums for a buck per bottle. But the brew comes with the nasty side effect of causing the drinker to melt. The film also has to deal with bums who live in a junkyard, a local mobster, and a sociopath Vietnam vet. I first saw this as sometime in my early teens, the penis keep away, and the bum melting into the toilet stayed with me. So when I saw it out on DVD, being the splatter horror moviephile that I am, I didn't hesitate to pick it up. Knowing that a 2-disk special edition was on the horizon, but I just couldn't wait anymore. Sadly it wasn't as great as I remembered, it kinda drags horribly in some places and could definitely by trimmed down a bit to tighten it up, yet there's still more then enough good points to recommend it. Great gore, some hilarious dialog, totally UN-PC (which I always applaud) and while the 'plot' seemed like it was just scrawled on a bar napkin one drunken night, I didn't seem to mind much. A fun LOW low budget splatter film although in the end, i like 1993's "Body Melt" a bit better.
My Grade: C+
Eye Candy: full frontal by a man and woman as well as a topless woman near the beginning; Miriam Zucker as a drunk slut shows all; and Jane Arakawa gets topless as Wendy
DVD Extras: only a theatrical trailer
Notes: comes with Viper sticker labels, which is neat
