Nifty retrospective documentary

Warning: Spoilers
This 21-minute documentary covers some interesting ground on the early 80's slasher cycle in general and the cult favorite entry "My Bloody Valentine" in particular. Among the things we learn about "My Bloody Valentine" was that the script was written under the title "The Secret," it was shot in an actual bleak small mining town, the cast all showed up in the town a week early to get a feel of both the place and the people who lived there, and mining equipment was used to kill various characters in the movie. The revival of the slasher genre by "Scream" is also discussed at some length before the doc concludes with a little coverage of the 3D remake of "My Bloody Valentine." In addition, there's a cool surprise interview with composer Paul Zaza about the memorable folk ballad ending credits theme song that was added by Zaza as an afterthought. Worth a watch for fans of the film.
