In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

“Don’t Knock Twice” is refreshingly non-woke. It sticks to old-school horror themes of family, guilt, and supernatural consequences without tossing in contemporary ideological baggage. If you’re tired of agenda-driven cinema, this one feels like a throwback in all the right ways.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film prioritizes a supernatural horror narrative over any overt ideological messaging. Characters are developed through their actions and flaws rather than identity checklists. There’s little evidence of forced representation or characters being portrayed as unrealistically flawless.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like motherhood, family trauma, and redemption are central to the plot. Religion is treated mostly through folklore elements, not as something to mock or deconstruct. There is no obvious subversion of cultural or gender roles here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t take a strong ideological stance. While the horror setup could permit some generic genre commentary, alternative perspectives and traditional values aren’t ridiculed or singled out.
