In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Horde is about as non-woke as they come these days, a violent, bleak survival ride focused on tension and gore, steering clear of ideology-laden storytelling. If you’re looking for a throwback to genre basics, this delivers.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Horde is a gritty French zombie film that emphasizes survival, action, and horror rather than shoehorning identity politics or ideological messaging into its story. Characters are defined by their situation and agency, not by reductive demographic checkboxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t spend time lecturing viewers about family, religion, or traditional values. Instead, it sticks to the genre’s nihilistic spirit and doesn’t choose to undermine masculinity or core cultural ideas. Social commentary is minimal to nonexistent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological monoculture here, the characters are varied in morality and motivation, and the film lacks explicit mockery of alternative worldviews. Any group dynamics stem from the horror chaos, not from preaching.
