What We Think

Saw III is about as unwoke as mainstream horror gets. It’s here to scare, not preach. No identity pandering, no social lectures, just a bloody, twisted ride for anyone up for the challenge.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Saw III focuses on its twisted horror narrative, not pushing identity politics or emphasizing character characteristics over plot or skill. No signs of casting or character arcs dictated by modern diversity mandates, just good old-fashioned mayhem and gore.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's themes are universal horror fare: guilt, consequences, punishment, not much about family, religion, or gender roles. There’s certainly no effort to undermine traditional values, it’s too busy with its grisly games.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t really a focus, unless you count the moral puzzles woven into the traps. No modern identity ideology dominates, and there’s no mockery or villainization of traditional perspectives.
