What We Think

Countdown manages to dodge most of the typical Hollywood wokeness, focusing on supernatural thrills over social messaging. If you’re after a movie that’s more about scares than sermons, this is a safe bet.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Countdown is a straightforward horror film with little focus on forced representation or identity-first casting. The story prioritizes supernatural scares and character choices over tokenism or ideology, resulting in minimal compromise to narrative integrity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film avoids heavy-handed commentary on traditional values, morality, or gender roles. There's no noticeable attack on religion or conservative ideals, if anything, the demon and religious subplots are played for horror rather than commentary, keeping things non-woke.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no real ideological marching in step, characters are diverse but presented naturally, and the themes stick mainly to horror tropes rather than lecturing the audience. Alternative worldviews aren’t villainized; it’s all about beating the curse.
