What We Think

A classic horror film from the 1970s, "The Brood" is refreshingly non-woke. It tells a unique, unsettling story without the hallmarks of forced representation or contemporary ideological preaching. Expect vintage psychological horror, not identity checklists.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Brood" focuses on psychological horror and family trauma, not identity politics. Characters are developed based on their personal struggles and not shoehorned to tick modern ideological boxes. There's no attempt to force contemporary diversity or sacrifice the story's integrity for social commentary.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film questions traditional family dynamics, it isn’t pushing modern critiques of masculinity, religion, or culture. Instead, it explores disturbed relationships in a more universal, horror-centric context, without rewriting or undermining traditional values for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, "The Brood" avoids the ideological monoculture found in much newer media. It doesn’t present a unified modern worldview, nor does it caricature traditionalism or dissent for easy moral points. The narrative is its own beast, messy, flawed, and personal.
