In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Carrie is about as non-woke as horror gets. Identity politics and modern ideological themes are, thankfully, nowhere to be found. The novel is more interested in scaring you than lecturing you.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Carrie focuses on compelling, flawed characters, with identity taking a backseat to psychological tension and horror. There's no evidence of forced diversity or superficial inclusion. Character arcs are driven by human motivation, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the portrayal of Carrie's mother is a harsh critique of religious fanaticism, traditional values and masculinity aren’t universally mocked or undermined. If anything, the narrative warns against extremism rather than attacking family or faith as concepts.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no obvious ideological monoculture in the book. Most characters represent a range of views and flaws, and no single worldview is unchallenged or held as morally superior. Classic King, messy, human, and more focused on terror than on teaching woke lessons.
