What We Think

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is a breath of (spooky) fresh air, sticking to classic horror tropes without the preachiness or checklist casting that defines so many modern “woke” films. Non-woke viewers can relax, Hollywood didn’t meddle much here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film sticks closely to its horror roots without forcing identity politics or checking diversity boxes. Characters are defined by their personalities and roles rather than modern ideological priorities, making it refreshingly focused on story over statements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like religion and family are central and portrayed respectfully, especially the Warrens’ Catholic faith. There’s no real effort to undermine these elements, if anything, the supernatural narrative reinforces classic moral frameworks, making it almost a rarity by Hollywood standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological monoculture. The film avoids lecturing its audience or villainizing alternative viewpoints. The primary conflict is supernatural, not social, and diversity of thought isn’t a forced focus, just good, spooky fun.
