What We Think

Lost Boys: The Tribe is an unapologetic B-movie romp, blissfully uninterested in progressive messaging. If you’re looking for a good old-fashioned vampire flick unburdened by wokeness, this one’s almost reassuringly old-school.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Lost Boys: The Tribe sticks to tried-and-true horror formulas, prioritizing vampires and surf culture over modern ideological messaging. Characters are cast and developed in line with genre conventions, not modern identity checklists. There’s little sense of forced representation or superficial elevation of certain groups.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and masculinity elements remain intact, if a bit caricatured. The story relies more on “party horror” tropes than taking shots at cultural traditions or moral frameworks. There’s no agenda to subvert or mock, just a standard-issue horror sequel vibe.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews or dissent aren’t really the film’s focus: most characters are too busy with vampires and wild parties. No noticeable villainization of traditional perspectives or push for uniform ideology. There’s nothing remotely resembling a ‘message’ beyond surviving the night.
