In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Descent is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. Its all-female cast serves the story organically, and it steers clear of overt ideology or character archetypes meant to push a modern message. Just a good, gritty horror ride.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Descent focuses on character-driven storytelling and survival horror. The all-female cast serves the narrative as believable thrill-seekers, and their personal arcs and flaws are emphasized over identity politics. There is minimal sense that box-ticking or forced representation is present.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and gender roles are largely absent due to the premise, yet the film doesn’t mock or undermine masculinity or traditional values. The characters operate within realistic friendships and human emotions, not taking aim at any cultural institutions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no overt ideological messaging or monoculture here. The film is concerned with primal survival and personal dynamics, not promoting a contemporary political agenda or caricaturing alternative worldviews.
