What We Think

The Final Girls delivers meta-horror that toes the woke line but doesn't leap over it. While it gently tweaks gender roles and horror norms, it’s mostly a loving parody rather than an ideological lecture. Mildly modern, but not aggressively woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The Final Girls primarily focuses on paying homage to and subverting ‘80s slasher tropes, but it doesn’t overtly sacrifice narrative for ideology. The cast is diverse but choices generally serve the meta-comedic story. There is some gentle lampooning of horror clichés, but merit and personality remain front and center.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film pokes fun at classic gender roles and the 'final girl' trope, it’s largely playful rather than preachy. Traditionally feminine and masculine characters are both gently parodied, but not with overt disdain for classic values. Cultural revisionism is present but wrapped in self-aware humor.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The movie leans into modern sensibilities and a slightly feminist twist, but doesn’t aggressively villainize traditional perspectives. Some alternative worldviews are missing, but the tone feels more fun than dogmatic. There's ideological tilting, but it doesn’t flatten the story into a sermon.
