It's such a classic. Chop Top is my favorite!

Yes, it's a misunderstood masterpiece.

Nope, only the 2003 film. I'll watch the original and 2 sometime if they're worth it.

The original was intended as a satire, but critics completely missed the joke, so Tobe Hopper went all out in TCM 2 to whack them over the head with the message. They're both worth a watch. The 2003 remake was just a gruelling and very grisly slasher film with none of the humour or creativity of the original.

Not sure I would call that satire, but maybe metaphorical. Anyway, I always understood that as a main theme in the original.

Correct. He might have intended that, but he did not execute it.

It is subjective, yes. I feel it is more a metaphor than a satire. Thanks.
