Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 2009 reboot of "Friday the 13th" stays true to classic slasher formulas, focusing on suspense rather than lecturing the audience with modern ideology. Characters are archetypal horror fodder, not diversity checklists. The film’s cast and plot choices appear driven by genre tradition.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional American values, like friendship and family, aren’t criticized or rewritten, if anything, morality is shown in the usual slasher context (punish naughty teens, reward cautious ones). Masculinity isn’t parodied; it’s just running for its life from Jason.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No obvious agenda here. There’s no excessive virtue signaling or villainization of old-school viewpoints. The film doesn’t push any particular worldview, unless you count ‘don’t go to summer camp with a homicidal maniac on the loose!’
