What We Think

High Lane serves up genuine horror thrills without the modern ideological trappings. Fans of traditional genre storytelling will find this refreshingly non-woke, focusing on survival rather than social commentary.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

High Lane is pretty standard as a survival horror film, focusing on tension and character flaws that arise from its life-or-death scenario. There's no sense that characters are cast or written primarily for identity reasons, and their development is driven by believable, old-fashioned relationship dynamics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t make any overt statements about religion, family, masculinity, or morality. There’s no noticeable effort to undermine traditional values; themes center around primal human survival rather than lecturing on institutions or roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious ideological messaging or caricaturing of alternative perspectives. Conflicts are character-driven and not related to broader cultural or political statements. The film functions with a neutral worldview, typical of classic horror.
