Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The original 1980 release of "The Fog" sticks to its ghostly revenge narrative without any noticeable pivot toward promoting identity politics. Characters are crafted to support the story, with personality, skill, and believable flaws, not defined by modern ideological checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no apparent agenda against religion, family, or traditional gender roles. The small town setting and local folklore are presented straightforwardly, without any attempt to subvert foundational cultural norms or rewrite history.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is unbothered by modern ideological concerns; alternative viewpoints simply aren't addressed because the story isn't about those issues. The primary conflict is about supernatural revenge, not identity or politics.
