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

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is the antithesis of woke, pure, unapologetic 80s slasher fun, free from modern ideological interference.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, this film sticks to classic slasher tropes: teens, campgrounds, and a mask-wearing villain. There's no sign that characters were cast for any reason other than fitting the genre's demands. No overt ideological focus trumps basic horror storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film puts little to no emphasis on modern critiques of masculinity, religion, or family. Instead, it simply serves up 80s horror with scant ideological baggage and a formulaic approach to character archetypes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This is popcorn horror through and through, with no agenda in sight. Traditional and alternative perspectives aren't really a focus, just survival versus Jason, which is as apolitical as it gets.
