What We Think

“The Babysitter: Killer Queen” is more concerned with being campy and ridiculous than with pushing a modern ideological agenda. Compared to Hollywood’s usual offerings, it’s a rare blast of late-night nonsense that mostly avoids preaching. Not exactly a bastion of tradition, but also not aggressively woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film mostly sticks to a wild, anarchic horror-comedy vibe, focusing on over-the-top gore and slapstick rather than preaching ideology. While it features a diverse cast, characters are developed on personality and humor rather than identity checkboxes. Narrative integrity isn’t sacrificed for messaging, which is refreshing these days.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and religion are background elements due to the film’s irreverent, tongue-in-cheek tone. Masculinity and femininity are treated comedically, but not demonized or unduly glorified. There's some subversion for humor, but it's equal-opportunity, mostly lampooning horror tropes rather than culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While most characters share a similar outlook due to the film’s madcap, horror-movie context, dissenting views aren't villainized; they’re typically absent, given the plot’s focus on survival and absurdity. There’s little room for overt ideological preening or caricatured villains standing in for traditional values.
