Severin Films will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Penelope Spheeris' The Boys Next Door (1985) with a brand new 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray combo pack release, which is scheduled to arrive on the market later this summer.
Description: It's the moment '80s teen movies turned "dangerous" (Rue Morgue), "unflinching" (Dread Central) and "all too real" (Cool Ass Cinema). Now this "dark, forbidding vision" (Los Angeles Times) from Penelope Spheeris – director of THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION Trilogy as well as WAYNE'S WORLD – and screenwriters Glen Morgan & James Wong – creators of FINAL DESTINATION and writers/producers of The X-Files – comes to UHD for the first time ever: Maxwell Caulfield and Charlie Sheen star as high school outcasts who head to Los Angeles for a spree of petty crime, senseless violence and savage murder that is "fast, angry and what a genuine punk torpedo should be" (Blu-ray.com). Patti D'Arbanville (BILITIS) and Christopher McDonald (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM) co-star in this "descent into hell" (Birth.Movies.Death.) featuring music by Iggy Pop, Tex & The Horseheads and The Cramps, now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative.
