You’ll melt over how good the ’80s cult favorite looks in the new disc release.
Synapse Films is releasing a new two-disc UHD/Blu-ray set of STREET TRASH, the colorfully gory horror/comedy shot on the mean streets of New York by director Jim Muro and writer/producer Roy Frumkes. Currently available for pre-order at the Synapse Films website, as well as Orbit DVD and DiabolikDVD, it has an official street date of December 7 and will also be on sale at select Vinegar Syndrome brick-and-mortar store locations. Set in a wrecking yard inhabited by a bunch of bizarre, crazy characters and centering on the Tenafly Viper booze that makes its drinkers melt, the movie is presented in a new 4K remaster of the original 35mm camera negative, presented in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible), supervised and approved by director of photography David Sperling. The soundtracks are a lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1 Surround mix and the original DTS-HD MA 2.0 theatrical mono, and the packaging is a side-loading chipboard hardbox case designed by artist Wes Benscoter.
