Some films age like fine wine. Street Trash aged like a bottle left behind a Brooklyn junkyard in summer, which, fittingly, is kind of the point.

Lightbulb Film Distribution is dragging the 1987 cult horror mess kicking and gurgling into the present with a new 4K UHD Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and digital release landing April 27.

Directed by J. Michael Muro, this is one of those legendary low-budget machines, reportedly made for around $100k, that helped define the infamous melt movie subgenre. And yes, that is exactly what it sounds like: people, liquifying at an alarming rate.

The story is still gloriously disgusting. Two runaway kids are scraping by in a decaying junkyard in Brooklyn when they stumble across a very old bottle of ‘Tenafly Viper’ in a liquor store that absolutely should’ve thrown it away decades ago. It has not aged well. Anyone who drinks it doesn’t just regret it, they basically start melting like an ice cream left out in the sun.

A pus filled, oozing ice cream of agony and death.

The new Collector’s Edition is going full retro-flex, packed inside a VHS-style box with only 2,000 copies up for grabs. Inside thenis over five hours of new extras, fresh commentary tracks, and artwork and inserts from illustrator Graham Humphreys, who clearly understood the assignment: make it look as gloriously unhinged as the film itself.

And because this kind of cinema refuses to stay buried, Street Trash is also heading back to UK and Irish cinemas for one-off screenings in May, including stops at the Prince Charles Cinema in London, Cultplex in Manchester, and Broadway Cinema in Nottingham. Because nothing says ‘community event’ quite like communal body horror.

Commercial Director Matthew Kreuzer calls it a full celebration of a cult classic, and honestly, ‘celebration’ feels right. Just with more slime, more screaming, and significantly less dignity.

Street Trash hits April 27th.

Bring gloves and possibly a mop.
