What We Think

Blood Red Sky is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on suspense and classic horror themes, with character-driven stakes over identity-driven ones. It resists the urge to use narrative as an ideological soapbox.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Blood Red Sky puts character and story first, focusing on a mother’s struggle for her son amidst a hijacking. The film doesn’t rely on forced identity politics or check-the-box casting. Its stakes and drama are rooted in classic thriller and horror tropes rather than modern ideological narratives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed subversion of family, religion, or masculinity. In fact, the film treats family bonds, parental sacrifice, and traditional emotional stakes with respect, rather than mocking or pathologizing them. Any social commentary takes a backseat to taut storytelling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked or villainized. The antagonists are motivated by greed and violence, not ideology, and there’s no cartoonish bigotry. Characters are diverse in motivation and background, avoiding the usual monocultural pitfalls.
