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

"Jason Lives" stands as a non-woke slasher: it's focused on thrills and chills, not social preaching. No forced diversity, gender politics, or message-first storytelling, just vintage horror fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film primarily focuses on classic slasher tropes, not forced messaging. Characters are pretty standard for 1980s horror, and no one's identity feels shoehorned in. It's all about scares, not social lectures, refreshing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values aren’t really the point here, but they aren’t mocked or subverted, either. The usual 'don't party or you'll meet Jason' trope stays intact, if anything upholding some old-school morality. It's horror, not a sociology course.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No noticeable agenda here. Alternative or traditional views aren’t villainized, because the villain is (obviously) a hockey-masked zombie. If you can find a hidden ideology under all that blood and screaming, you may be overthinking it.
