Title 021 on the Black Label is\u00a0<\/span>SUBURBIA<\/strong>\u00a0(1983), a searing drama that is both an authentic\u00a0and compassionate study of the Los Angeles punk rock scene of\u00a0the early 1980s, and a bleak indictment of the American suburban experiment.\u00a0Starring real-life punks rather than trained actors, and featuring live performances from punk bands D.I., T.S.O.L. and the Vandals, special features in include\u00a0a brand new, 30-minute interview with director Penelope Spheeris, and two commentaries with filmmakers and cast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing the theme of suburban alienation, title 022 on our premium imprint is\u00a0THE BOYS NEXT DOOR<\/strong>\u00a0(1985),\u00a0a violent and disturbing crime thriller starring Maxwell Caulfield and Charlie Sheen as a pair of handsome teenagers who embark on a sickening killing spree in Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Spheeris would go on to become best known for her documentary and comedy filmmaking, this pair of uncompromising films \u2014\u00a0her first two narrative features \u2014\u00a0remain among the director’s\u00a0strongest and most hard-hitting work.<\/p>\n
