Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

30 Days of Night sticks closely to its horror roots, focusing on tension and survival. Characters are developed for their roles in the story rather than being defined primarily by identity factors. There's little evidence of forced representation or narrative sacrifices for modern ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on community, family ties, and survival, with traditional gender roles generally respected. Masculinity is portrayed as a strength, and there’s no overt attempt to subvert established cultural or moral norms. Religion isn't mocked or undermined, but it doesn't play a major role either.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie avoids ideological lecturing and presents characters with relatable motives. There is no noticeable mockery of traditional views, nor are dissenting or conventional characters exclusively villainized. The focus remains on horror rather than social commentary.
