What We Think

One Missed Call (2008) is blissfully untouched by modern woke trends. The scares come from ghosts, not political checklists. A straightforward supernatural thriller, free of ideological baggage.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film stays focused on its supernatural horror premise, and there’s little indication that casting or character arcs prioritize current identity politics over narrative tension. It’s all about the creepy calls and surviving the next scare, not social messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s essentially no overt commentary on tradition, family, faith, or social values. It’s a standard horror flick with no axes to grind, unless you count evil cell phones as a threat to culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No sign of villainizing traditional perspectives or pushing an ideological line. The plot doesn’t even brush up against modern social debate territory, everyone’s just equally spooked by supernatural events.
