What We Think

Laid to Rest is about as non-woke as modern films get. It sticks to classic slasher formulas, ignores identity politics, and doesn’t preach or lecture. If you’re looking for pure genre entertainment without the modern cultural baggage, this is it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Laid to Rest is a straightforward slasher film. Characters are defined generally by survival instincts rather than identity markers. There’s no evident attempt to shoehorn diversity or ideology at the cost of narrative flow.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film isn’t interested in commenting on religion, masculinity, or family values, in fact, it’s almost entirely apolitical, focusing on gore and suspense rather than messages or moralizing.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no evident push for a single worldview. The film is occupied with horror tropes and doesn’t even try to insert social commentary or villainize dissenting viewpoints.
