Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Cold Creek Manor’s casting and storytelling revolve around traditional thriller elements, focusing on suspense and character-driven tension rather than ticking diversity checkboxes. The characters’ backgrounds don't feel forced and are central to the story, prioritizing credibility over ideological signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s themes focus on family, safety, and perseverance without undermining traditional roles. Masculinity and family dynamics are taken seriously, and there’s little attempt to moralize against longstanding cultural values. Any subversion is minimal and feels organic to the thriller genre.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no noticeable ideological lecturing or villainization of alternative views. The film focuses on suspense rather than imposing any clear-cut worldview. Diverse perspectives or traditional norms aren't mocked, if anything, classic suspense tropes and character motivations drive the plot.
