Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Curse of Chucky' sticks closely to horror conventions and centers on a familiar villain, with character backgrounds and identity factors serving the narrative rather than ideological messaging. There's no heavy-handed emphasis on social issues or identity politics taking precedence over plot or tension.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't dwell on subverting religion, family, or masculinity. Family dysfunction is a classic element in horror, but it's not overtly reinterpreted for modern messaging. Any portrayal of traditional norms comes off as part of the genre's attempt at suspense, not an ideological critique.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no real attempt to villainize alternative perspectives or present a single, obvious worldview. The story is about survival and fear, the usual fare for Chucky. It resists shoehorning in ideology, sticking with the timeless horror approach.
