Even though the movie wasn’t for me, I did like this podcast about it on Dead Meat. Especially for distinguishing between interpretations and the filmmakers’ conscious intent.

I appreciate the idea that the movie’s existence itself is the commentary that I thought it was lacking.

Just turning the solitary killer with some identifiable motivation, into a family of cannibals, is an early-70s response to America feeling like it had collapsed and been rotting from the inside.

Still don’t like it, but it’s rare for me to see movie interpretations and not immediately think “you’re reading way too much into it.”
