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 Driller Killer is about as non-woke as 1970s grindhouse cinema gets. No agenda-driven casting, minimal cultural revisionism, and no modern identity politics to be found. Just a wild, grimy ride through urban madness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Driller Killer is primarily an exploitation horror film focused on psychological decay rather than pushing any modern ideology. Characterization is based on narrative needs, not forced identity politics or representation quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s some subversive content due to the film’s gritty punk setting, but it doesn’t attack religion, family, or traditional values. The cultural backdrop is more about urban decay and personal breakdown than rewriting social norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no ideological lecturing or one-sided portrayal of modern cultural issues. The film doesn’t mock traditional views; it’s focused on shock value and artistic angst, not promoting a singular ideology.
