What We Think

The Cabin in the Woods is more about deconstructing horror clichés than pushing a woke agenda. It's a rare modern film that feels comfortable poking fun at everything, not just traditional cultural foundations. Low woke scores all around.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film mainly focuses on clever genre subversion and tongue-in-cheek horror, not overt identity politics. Characters are mostly archetypal based on horror traditions, rather than checkboxes for diversity. Narrative sacrifices lean toward genre lampshading rather than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the movie pokes fun at traditional horror tropes (including some on gender and youthful morality), it doesn't go out of its way to attack family, religion, or masculinity. The cultural critique is broad satire rather than an ideological hit job.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The movie satirizes a lot, but doesn't exclusively push one worldview or villainize dissenters. It feels more interested in upending genre expectations than lecturing the audience about identity or politics.
