Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t spend time undermining religion, family, or masculinity in any overt way. Its main focus is paranormal terror and personal trauma, with little commentary on cultural institutions. Any subversion comes from ghostly horror, not from ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t heavily explored or mocked, ideological assumptions aren’t front and center. The film is less concerned with politics and more with scares, offering little reason for viewers to complain about monoculture or caricatures.
