Case 392009

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

Case 39 is almost refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards, zero obvious agenda, no identity-driven casting, and no moral lectures. If you’re nostalgic for entertainment that prioritizes thrills over themes, this is a safe bet.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Case 39 sticks to a straightforward horror-thriller formula, with casting and character arcs determined more by story than by identity politics. There is no clear evidence of forced representation, and characters develop through dramatic events rather than virtue signaling or ideological nods.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on the terror of a demon child and stays firmly in the horror genre, avoiding overt commentary on religion, gender roles, or family structure. It doesn’t take aim at traditional values or rewrite cultural foundations for a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no ideological preaching here, nor is there mockery of traditional views. The film doesn’t try to shoehorn in a unifying set of modern moral assumptions; it’s all about supernatural suspense.
