What We Think

An American Werewolf in Paris is about as non-woke as it gets, sticking to campy horror and romance with little to no ideological posturing. It’s a product of its time: pure popcorn flick, not a platform for virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on supernatural horror and comedy, with character personalities and narrative development taking priority over identity themes. Casting and character arcs appear rooted in genre conventions rather than ideology, resulting in minimal forced representation or 'flawless' diverse characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional horror tropes are intact, with no notable subversion of gender roles or critical takes on family, religion, or tradition. Masculinity and classic romance are played relatively straight, without overt attempts to undermine cultural values or rewrite history for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a fairly typical late-90s horror-comedy without much in the way of modern ideological messaging. Alternative perspectives aren't mocked or villainized, if anything, it's apolitical mayhem in Paris, minus the social commentary.
