What We Think

For the most part, "Cult of Chucky" is here for horror fans, not ideological lectures. While a few modern elements poke through, it never forgets that it’s about a killer doll, not a platform for virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Cult of Chucky" largely prioritizes its horror narrative and legacy characters. However, the addition of a transgender character and some modern sensibilities may appear slightly forced to some traditional viewers, but it does not dominate the film or overwrite the tension and story built up in previous installments.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film contains a few mild jabs at traditional institutions (such as the mental health system), but overall, it’s mainly about murderous dolls and doesn’t spend much time undermining religion, family, or traditional values. Gender roles and traditional morality aren’t prominently mocked or subverted, aside from a few nods to modern trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a bit of surface-level nodding to current ideological trends, but there’s no strong push to villainize dissenting perspectives or eradicate alternative worldviews. Most characters are just trying to survive Chucky, without much philosophizing on modern moral debates.
