What We Think

For anyone tired of Hollywood’s endless lectures, 'Ghosts of War' is practically non-woke, focused more on scares and suspense than checking boxes. Just how it should be.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Ghosts of War' sticks fairly closely to genre conventions, with character motivations and drama rooted in the story rather than overt identity-driven narratives. Representation appears organic, and the focus is on psychological horror and wartime trauma rather than social commentary.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film generally treats themes like brotherhood, courage, and confronting evil with seriousness. Traditional gender roles are maintained (it’s a WWII male-squad setting), and there’s no attempt to rewrite history for modern tastes. Morality is explored as a weighty, personal struggle, not a platform for ideological lessons.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

'Ghosts of War' keeps most of its focus on horror and psychological tension, not political or contemporary ideological themes. There’s little to no explicit villainization of traditional outlooks or overt preaching. Any modern parallels are subtle, if present at all.
