What We Think

"Saint" is an almost entirely non-woke horror romp, playing with folklore in a campy way rather than pushing modern ideology. Occasional revisionism is for scares, not sermons.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Saint" presents a straightforward horror narrative rooted in Dutch folklore, focusing on a supernatural version of Sinterklaas. The protagonist cast and character arcs do not display obvious signs of forced representation or identity-centric storytelling; character traits are consistent with genre conventions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film does subvert traditional cultural views of Sinterklaas, turning a beloved figure into a menacing villain for horror effect. However, it comes across more as playful folklore revision than intentional undermining of cultural foundations like religion or family.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little sign of overt ideology; traditional and modern views coexist without heavy-handed messaging. The film keeps its focus on horror rather than turning into a political classroom, so no obvious monoculture present.
