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

‘Bad Moon’ is a refreshingly non-woke film by modern standards, focused squarely on its horror elements and family dynamics rather than political or ideological messaging. A howling good time that won’t give you ideological indigestion.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film keeps its focus on classic horror tropes with its werewolf story. There’s no noticeable emphasis on identity politics or prioritizing representation over story or character development. It mostly sticks to traditional suspense and familial drama.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Bad Moon’ features traditional family structures, and masculine virtues are portrayed in a neutral or even positive light. There’s no obvious attack on religion, family, or classic gender roles. The film is more concerned with monster mayhem than undermining cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no discernible ideological messaging, modern or otherwise. The film doesn’t villainize traditional values, nor does it force-feed a single worldview. It stays comfortably in classic horror territory with no sociopolitical subplots.
