Lightbulb Film Distribution is delighted to announce that Street Trash (1987) will be released on 4K UHD Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and digital from April 27. The 80’s cult-horror, which spawned the sub-genre “Melt” movies, has been newly restored from the original negative.
Street Trash is directed by J. Michael Muro and stars Mike Lackey, Vic Noto and Bill Chepil. The film was made for an estimated $100k.
The Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, housed inside a VHS box, is available to pre-order now, limited to 2,000 copies. It features over 5 hours of brand-new extras, newly recorded audio commentaries and exclusive artwork and inserts designed by illustrator Graham Humphreys.
To celebrate the release, Street Trash will return to select UK & Irish screens for one-off shows in May – including the Prince Charles Cinema in London, CultPlex in Manchester and Broadway in Nottingham.
Two young runaways live in a derelict junkyard in Brooklyn. Life is hard, but the biggest threat to these vagabonds is the mysterious case of Tenafly Viper in Ed’s liquor store. This stuff is over forty years old… and it’s gone bad. REAL bad!
