What We Think

Friday the 13th Part III is blissfully free of modern woke trappings. If you want pure, apolitical slasher mayhem, this is about as non-woke as they come.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Friday the 13th Part III predates the modern wave of forced representation. Characters are thinly sketched, but there's little evidence of casting or plot built around identity politics. The focus is on straightforward horror tropes, not soapboxing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't set out to undermine family, masculinity, or traditional morality. Sure, classic slasher fare punishes 'immoral' teens, but it's more about genre convention than cultural subversion. Masculine and feminine roles are stereotypical but not derided.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little focus on ideology of any stripe. The movie isn't interested in social messaging, its sole concern is scaring its audience. Traditional and alternative perspectives simply aren't engaged with: it's a horror movie, not a sermon.
