I... didn't hate this? It's lurid, sophomoric, goofy trash.
But that seems to have been the assignment!
This is the kind of movie that has a parody of an old Jewish man who says things like gefilte and oy vey a lot but also explains in detail his theory about how Peter Pan is a pedophile and Captain Hook is the actual hero of Neverland. It has a disturbed man talking to his little blue imaginary friend, who has his penis out and is pissing on his foot. It has exploding heads and a severed penis.
It's vulgar and juvenile but in a mildly updated version of a very vintage 1980's way.
It's stupid but it does exactly what it sets out to do.
I laughed.
I don't think much/any of the satirical stuff they were trying to layer in lands though.

I would put this in a double bill with Peter Jackson's Bad Taste or Meet the Feebles, if that helps anyone calibrate.

The idea of a Street Trash remake is thoroughly bizarre to me, like a cover band dedicated to a shitty punk band that put out one novelty EP on cassette in 1985. I'm definitely going to watch it, but entirely out of morbid curiosity. But definitely, everyone should watch the real Street Trash.

I've never seen the original, so I may be not the ideal reviewer.
