Savage Streets: Linda Blair revenge thriller now on special edition Blu-ray

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, director Danny Steinmann's sleazy and divisive entry in the Friday the 13th franchise, reached theatres in March of 1985. Five months earlier, there was another sleazy, Steinmann-directed cult classic in theatres: the rape revenge thriller Savage Streets (watch it HERE). Code Red has now given Savage Streets a much-deserved special edition Blu-ray release, and you can pick up a copy at THIS LINK.

The film stars Linda Blair, Linnea Quigley, Robert Dryer, and John Vernon. Blair takes on the role of 

Brenda, vivacious leader of the “Satins”, a fun-loving group of pretty high school girls. The Satins are in for trouble from the first moment they play a harmless prank on the “Scars” — a vicious gang who runs loose on the Hollywood streets. The Scars and their malevolent leader, Jake (Dryer), take their revenge seriously — first with Brenda’s deaf-mute sister (Quigley), and then her soon-to-be-married best friend. Caught up in her rivalry with the cheerleaders, Brenda is at first unaware of the Scars’ involvement, but she soon finds out the full truth. Shocked… full of hate… in a skintight black suit… Brenda searches for the gang members and she takes them out one by one with deadly vengeance.

Johnny Venocur, Sal Landi, Scott Mayer, Marcia Karr, Bob DeSimone, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter's Lisa Freeman, and Freddy vs. Jason's Paula Shaw are also in the cast.
