What We Think

Scream 2 is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards, focused on frights and fun rather than ideological grandstanding. If you want a horror film where the scares come first and the social commentary takes a back seat, this is a solid pick.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Scream 2 sticks mainly to its horror roots, focusing on suspense and meta-commentary about horror films rather than shoehorning in identity politics or prioritizing character diversity over story. Characters are written with distinct personalities rather than just their demographic traits.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t go out of its way to undermine traditional values. Family, gender roles, or religion aren’t central themes, if anything, these aspects are mostly neutral or absent rather than actively subverted or mocked.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the movie does include a more diverse cast than its predecessor, it doesn’t constantly preach or demonize dissenting viewpoints. There’s not much in the way of overt messaging or agenda-driven groupthink.
