What We Think

Amityville: The Awakening is about as non-woke as modern horror gets, sticking to classic scares without letting any ideology drive the story. So if you want a break from 'message movies,' this haunted house flick won't lecture you.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Amityville: The Awakening focuses primarily on supernatural horror and family drama. It largely avoids shoehorning in modern identity politics or emphasizing character traits based on ideology. The casting and character arcs feel in line with traditional genre fare.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion and family are present as plot devices without being mocked or torn down excessively. There's little to suggest the film is actively undermining tradition, instead using horror tropes familiar to fans of the genre.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no overt push for modern ideological conformity, pretty rare these days. Alternative viewpoints aren't deeply explored, but the film doesn't paint dissenters as villains or caricatures either.
