Back in 2024, we brought you news of the reboot coming to cinemas. Today, we are pleased to bring you news that Lightbulb Film Distribution has announced 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!
“We are delighted to be bringing Street Trash ’87 to 4K UHD for the very first time and to celebrate this classic melt movie in all its, gloopy, gunky glory. And with Graham Humphreys designing the incredible new artwork and inserts for this special edition along with Jason Impey supplying some wonderfully insightful, never-seen-before extras and commentaries ensures that all boxes were ticked. We are over the moon with how the final package looks and plays, and we can’t wait to hear and see horror fans’ reactions when they receive the Limited Collector’s Edition VHS Box in their hands.” commented Commercial Director, Matthew Kreuzer.
Street Trash will be available on 4K UHD and Digital from Monday, April 27 and returns to select UK & Irish screens in May
