What We Think

Paranormal Activity 2 is a rare example of a modern horror film that avoids the usual ideological pitfalls. With minimal woke elements, its commitment is to tension and scares, not lecturing or social engineering.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's focus is squarely on supernatural suspense within a suburban family; identity politics or check-the-box representation is nowhere to be found. Casting and character development serve the story rather than ideological points, keeping narrative integrity largely intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Paranormal Activity 2 depicts a traditional nuclear family facing paranormal threats. Family bonds and protective roles are taken seriously, with no agenda-driven subversion of gender roles or mockery of traditional values. The film’s main interest is scaring viewers, not rewriting cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no discernible modern ideological messaging or villainization of differing viewpoints. The supernatural threat is universal, not symbolic of any sociopolitical stance, and characters don’t espouse overtly modern dogmas, keeping the film refreshingly neutral.
