I’ll never get enough of this movie. I can’t believe now that there was a time when the uncut version just seemed like a crazy dream that would not come true. I’ll always be grateful to all those involved with making that happen. Great article, looking forward to reading more on MBV this week!

The mainstream critics weren’t the only ones having a pop at slashers. Serious horror types hated them too.
Kim Newman was pretty much blaming them for the end of civilisation until well into the 1990s!
MBV is a great one.

Awesome. That’s so funny about you and Lori… Small world.

I agree that it’s amazing for MBV (and any old slasher when you think about it) when they age so well. It’s a testament to the filmmakers and also to certain slasher staples that just work when someone gives them a little heart (literally!)…
