MVP goes to Prison on Scary Movie Saturday!

In honor of our good friends at Exploited Cinema who first turned us on to Renny Harlin’s low budget debut Prison and who may in fact be nearing the end of their tenure as we know them. Change isn’t always a bad thing and is often required for more good to come so we wish Jdog and Bat32 nothing but success in their personal and professional lives. The boys had a greasy good ride and to that the Mutantville Players tip our hats. Thanks for keeping it greasy fellas.

Speaking of Renny Harlin and his low budget adventures, here’s a quote from wikipedia:
Harlin moved to the U.S. where he was initially put to work directing low-budget horror movies, but commercial success was soon to follow. In 1988, Irwin Yablans of Empire Pictures hired him to direct Viggo Mortensen, Chelsea Field and Lane Smith in the low-budget horror film Prison filmed at a former state prison in Rawlins, Wyoming.[9] That same year Robert Shaye of New Line Cinema, after some initial doubts, hired him to direct another low-budget horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, which became the highest grossing independent film at that time by earning $49 million in the US. Harlin cameos in the film as a student while a publicity poster for Prison can be seen in the background of a scene in a movie theatre.
