What We Think

"In the Mouth of Madness" stands as a refreshingly non-woke film, more interested in psychological horror than checking boxes for modern ideology. A near unicorn in today’s landscape.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "In the Mouth of Madness" is largely unconcerned with modern identity politics. Characters are written for their narrative purpose rather than to fulfill identity quotas. There's no sense of anyone being hired for their demographic background, and character arcs focus on genuine psychological and existential themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film critiques religion and reality, but in a classic horror/Lovecraftian way rather than a modern ideological one. It doesn't set out to mock tradition, masculinity, or family; instead, it’s more concerned with cosmic horror and sanity, not subverting cultural cornerstones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No clear ideological monoculture present. The story explores madness and skepticism without shoehorning in a progressive or modern sociopolitical lens. Viewers won't find heavy-handed messaging or the villainizing of dissenting perspectives.
