Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This classic horror anthology focuses entirely on traditional storytelling, suspense, and gothic chills. Characters are developed based on their personalities, roles, and the demands of each spooky vignette, rather than modern identity politics. There’s absolutely no sense of forced representation or shoehorning based on contemporary ideological concerns.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film leaves cultural foundations intact, religion, family, masculinity, and social norms are simply a background to the uncanny tales. There’s no attempt to subvert gender roles or rewrite history; if anything, it’s a positive time capsule of its era’s sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No agenda-driven preaching here. Any worldview differences or moral ambiguities are rooted in classic horror tropes, not in ideological monoculture. There’s room for a variety of perspectives, with no heavy-handed messaging or demonization of traditional views.
