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

"Body Bags" is about as non-woke as a horror anthology gets, more interested in entertaining (and scaring) viewers than offering up social commentary. If you’re tired of contemporary Hollywood messaging, this one’s a safe bet.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Body Bags" focuses more on classic horror anthology scares than social messaging. Characters are defined by their personalities and situations rather than any relentless focus on identity traits. If anything, it feels like a throwback to straightforward storytelling, no forced representation or contemporary ideological distractions here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't spend time deconstructing religious traditions or poking at family structures. Masculinity isn't pathologized; it's your standard horror formula, heavy on genre tropes and light on any attempt to critique traditional cultural foundations or gender norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While horror often has its villains and victims, "Body Bags" steers clear of framing these through ideological lenses. No group is villainized for their beliefs, and there's a distinct lack of lectures or overt political messaging. The focus is simply on scares and suspense.
