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

Frankenhooker is gloriously un-woke, caring little for modern identity politics and much more for outrageous, crude comedy. It’s oddly refreshing for those who tire of the message-first approach in newer films.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Frankenhooker is a B-movie parody with no real agenda in terms of forced diversity or identity politics. Its focus is schlocky, over-the-top horror-comedy rather than ideological storytelling. Character traits revolve around absurdity, not modern social themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film toys with sexuality and gender, but more for crude humor than as any kind of subversive statement. Family, tradition, and religious themes are largely absent, but there’s no overt attempt to undermine them, either.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no discernible modern ideological monoculture here, just tasteless jokes and madcap antics. Any traditional or alternative values are played for laughs, not as targets of ridicule.
