What We Think

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Omen IV: The Awakening is largely focused on supernatural horror, continuing the story of the Antichrist in a straightforward manner. Character casting appears typical for the era, with no overt focus on identity politics or sacrificing story for ideology. Any representation present fits within the narrative needs of the genre.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film operates within established religious and family frameworks, using traditional themes of good versus evil, with Christianity's symbolism intact. There’s no noticeable attempt to subvert gender roles beyond what’s demanded by horror tropes, and the cultural milieu is recognizably conventional for its time.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed ideological messaging or villainization of traditional viewpoints here. Evil is evil, good is good, pretty classic horror stuff. The film doesn't push a particular modern agenda, and the characters don't spout monolithic modern values or worldviews.
