What We Think

“Cursed” is a refreshingly non-woke werewolf flick. It doesn’t parade modern ideological themes or subvert tradition for ideology. Instead, it delivers straightforward supernatural horror, no heavy-handed messaging here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Cursed” mostly sticks to traditional genre storytelling, focusing on werewolf horror with family drama and romance. Identity themes or ideological subplots don’t take center stage, and characters are defined by their actions rather than modern identity checkboxes. Forced representation is minimal if present at all.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't seem to undermine family structures, religion, or traditional masculinity. Instead, it uses classic horror tropes, sibling bonds and the struggle with monstrous transformation, without obvious intent to subvert cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little attempt to push a one-note ideological worldview. Traditional horror archetypes are present, and dissenting or alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked or villainized; they're mostly not present, typical for early 2000s horror.
