Cool little movie.

Body Melt...only one movie describes this film...trippy! Long time ago I saw it at the store and wondered about it and always gave it the cold shoulder, but finally I decided to rent it and man did I get my money's worth. Hard to describe the movie it reminds me of the movie "Street Trash". Body Melt has excellent special effects and make up work but hardly any plot what so ever. Mainly it consisted of people trippin out on this drug and exploding or melting. With comedy thrown in from time to time it makes it more enjoyable to watch. Painful scenes like a wooden pole to the nuts, bullet shot through the hand, and an expanding exploding penis. Well just to narrow it down if you like weird movies like "Street Trash", "Dead Alive", and "Frankenhooker" than this is a for must see film for you. Not for weak stomachs and not for "Scream" fans. 7 stars out of 10 stars.
