It could also be argued that with a budget of 2,000,000 USD, the amount of publicity received, and the fact that director Nick Palumbo managed to shoot on 35mm film stock, MSP could hardly be considered “underground”. In fact, it could be argued that MSP’s fate of being picked up by Lionsgate and released theatrically on an international scale (as a limited NC-17 release in the US and mostly for festival showings in Europe), was a sure sign of the dawning extremization of mainstream tastes.
One of the last underground torture horror films released before the subgenre became mainstream with the Saw sequels and Hostel.
