The episode spawned the buzzword videovåld (lit "Video-violence"), and a major moral panic that would shape public perception and even influence new laws. In the end the movies demonized by the show were more helped than harmed, as the exposure made them famous. Today the whole thing is widely regarded as an example of sensationalism and the videovåld controversy is mostly over. The Swedish DVD-cover for "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" even mentions the episode and proudly claims to have been "the most hated movie in Sweden!".
