Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Demons 2 is a straightforward Italian horror flick that doesn’t waste time on modern identity politics. Characters are defined by their reactions to chaos, not by shoehorned diversity boxes or checklists. There’s no distracting forced representation or heroic characters presented as flawless paragons of virtue.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t delve into social commentary regarding religion, masculinity, or family. If anything, it leans into traditional horror tropes, with survival instincts and personal relationships driving the story. There’s no modern subversion or moral lecturing to be found.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious ideological message or agenda. Demons 2 is just here to entertain with buckets of gore, not to promote or mock any worldview. There’s no soapbox, only scream queens and special effects.
