What We Think

'Color Out of Space' is refreshingly non-woke, with its focus squarely on classic cosmic horror. No forced representation, no agenda-driven rewrites, it’s just a weird, trippy, genuinely creepy film that doesn’t lecture you. In a sea of agenda-heavy media, this one lets the horror do the talking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Color Out of Space' focuses on cosmic horror, family dynamics, and supernatural chaos without obvious signs of narrative hijacking for ideological purposes. Characters are defined by their responses to the alien threat, not by their identity markers. Forced diversity casting or “infallible” diverse leads aren’t present, just a descent into Lovecraftian madness.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a traditional family unit facing an incomprehensible alien presence. While there’s trauma and breakdown, this is due to external horror, not because of an attack on family values, masculinity, or traditions. Religion, cultural heritage, and morality aren’t subverted for modern messaging, they’re background noise compared to the cosmic threat.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The plot is indifferent to modern ideological talking points. No grandstanding about identity, no caricaturing of traditional folks, and no overt political statements. Conflict comes from eldritch horror, not social or ideological uniformity. The only monoculture here is everyone being equally terrified by a color from space.
