What We Think

“The Hills Have Eyes” is your classic horror movie, grisly, relentless, and refreshingly non-woke. There’s no modern ideological checklist here, just old-fashioned terror and a fight for survival.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story is a gritty survival horror with characters established by family and survival instincts, not identity politics. There's no forced representation or preachy ideological wedge pushed into the script, so narrative integrity is largely intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and masculine roles are central; the father and son-in-law both show leadership. The threats come from mutations caused by nuclear testing, not modern cultural critique. The film doesn't subvert or mock family or moral institutions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s barely any ideological agenda on display. The focus is on survival and the horrors the family faces. No real attempt is made to mock or villainize non-mainstream views; ideology is largely irrelevant to the plot.
