What We Think

A classic slasher that predates Hollywood’s current infatuation with wokeness, Halloween 5 is about thrills, not ideological preaching. It’s firmly non-woke by today's standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Halloween 5 sticks to its slasher roots without shoehorning in identity politics or prioritizing representation over storytelling. Characters are typical for the genre, and focus remains firmly on suspense and horror rather than any overt ideological message.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film doesn't go out of its way to challenge or deconstruct traditional family, religion, or masculinity. If anything, it leans on classic horror tropes and values for its scares.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no clear effort to ridicule alternative worldviews or enforce modern moral frameworks. The film's focus is on the traditional final-girl trope and evil villain, not on pushing a cultural or political agenda.
