What We Think

Amityville II: The Possession is essentially a time capsule from the pre-woke era, focused on chills rather than checklists. If you're looking for a movie untouched by modern ideological fervor, this haunted house fits the bill nicely.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Amityville II: The Possession is a classic early '80s horror film that doesn't seem fixated on modern identity politics. Characters are developed for story needs, not box-ticking representation, and focus remains on the narrative and horror elements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, the film leans into traditional concepts of family, faith, and evil. The depiction of religious figures is earnest, if melodramatic, and the family dynamic, though troubled, is core to the plot. It hardly subverts cultural norms or foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Diverse contemporary ideologies are absent, but so are overt attempts to mock or villainize traditional perspectives. It's a straightforward genre piece, not a soapbox for modern social debates.
