What We Think

One Cut of the Dead is a refreshingly non-woke, fun, and creative zombie film. Its priorities are storytelling and heartfelt comedy, not lecturing the audience. Highly recommended for viewers tired of ‘message-first’ modern cinema.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a clever, meta-comedy zombie movie that focuses on creative filmmaking, family, and teamwork. It doesn't showcase forced representation or prioritize identity politics over narrative. The characters are defined by their roles and quirks, not box-checking diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values around family, perseverance, and working together are central. There’s no undermining of masculinity, religion, or cultural heritage; if anything, it’s a tribute to underdog spirit and collaborative effort.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

You won’t find the usual Hollywood monoculture here. Different personalities and generations clash and collaborate in sincere, non-political ways, completely free of contemporary ideological preaching or villainization of alternative viewpoints.
