Rated R
The narrative directorial debut of Penelope Spheeris (Wayne’s World, The Decline of Western Civilization), Suburbia will kick your ass.
Made for Roger Corman’s New World Pictures after Spheeris’ phenomenal success with Decline, this nuanced look at a patchwork family of punks banded together against their bad parents and shitty authority figures is made even radder by hammering live sets from SoCal hardcore squads D.I. and TSOL. Fuck the world.
Content warning: This film contains scenes of violence, racism, and animal cruelty.
