What We Think

The Hamiltons is refreshingly non-woke by current Hollywood standards. It’s a character-driven horror film that doesn’t trade substance for social signaling, making it an outlier in today’s cinema landscape.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Hamiltons focuses on a family of vampires struggling to hide their secret, with story and character development taking precedence over identity themes. Characters are cast for fit and believability, not as statements of representation. There's no obvious identity-driven narrative compromise here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures are portrayed, albeit with a dark, subversive twist. The film doesn’t vilify masculinity, faith, or tradition; rather, it centers on a dysfunctional but loyal family unit, even if they happen to be monsters. It’s more gothic horror than cultural critique.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This film lacks overt political messaging, and alternative perspectives aren’t mocked or caricatured. If anything, it stands apart from the modern trend of ideological uniformity. The focus is on family dynamics and horror rather than on driving a specific worldview.
