What We Think

The Gathering (2003) is about as non-woke as you can get these days, focusing on good old-fashioned supernatural suspense over modern ideological messaging, definitely not from the current Hollywood playbook.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Gathering (2003) is primarily a supernatural thriller with classic horror elements and does not appear to promote modern identity-focused narratives. Character development is based on story needs rather than forced representation. There's no evidence of characters existing solely for the sake of diversity, so it maintains strong narrative integrity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and tradition are significant plot points, treated with seriousness rather than mockery. Christian symbolism and themes of sin and redemption are central. There's no obvious attempt to subvert traditional values, making its approach refreshingly non-woke in today’s cinematic landscape.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film offers a variety of character motivations, including both sympathetic and morally ambiguous figures, without painting traditional perspectives as villainous. There's no overt push for a single ideological worldview; instead, the film opts for classic moral ambiguity.
