Severin is preparing a standard 4K Blu-ray edition of Penelope Spheeris' cult film The Boys Next Door (1985), starring Maxwell Caulfield, Charlie Sheen, Patti D'Arbanville, Christopher McDonald, and Hank Garrett. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on November 25.
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.
