What We Think

'The Beast of Yucca Flats' is about as non-woke as cinema gets. It's a pure 1960s B-movie creature feature, almost laughably apolitical by today's standards. If you're seeking a refuge from modern ideological trends, this is your monster movie.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Beast of Yucca Flats' sticks to a bare-bones monster movie formula with zero emphasis on modern identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no evidence of ideological monoculture here. The movie doesn’t promote or mock any particular worldview, nor does it villainize traditional perspectives. It’s strictly a low-budget horror flick without ideological baggage.
