What We Think

Let Us Prey is refreshingly non-woke. It sidesteps modern Hollywood trends of forced representation and ideological preaching, letting the horror and characters speak for themselves. Fans of classic horror with a non-woke slant can breathe easy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Let Us Prey is more interested in atmospheric horror and psychological thrills than identity politics. Characters are developed for their roles within the grisly narrative rather than box-checking. Any thematic elements that touch on gender or authority serve the story rather than soapboxing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film has a dark, nihilistic vibe, but it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine faith, family, or traditional culture. Its themes are more about personal guilt and morality than lecturing the audience about the supposed evils of old-fashioned values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No heavy-handed ideological agenda here, villains are complex and the film presents moral ambiguity rather than caricaturing any group. There’s no forced consensus on ‘correct’ beliefs; it lets viewers interpret the chaos themselves.
