What We Think

"The House by the Cemetery" is blissfully unconcerned with modern identity politics. Its wokeness level is nearly nonexistent by today’s standards, making it a non-woke comfort watch for those tired of Hollywood checklists.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a classic Italian horror piece where character identity is driven by story rather than modern checklist. Nobody feels cast for the sake of diversity or ideology. There’s no forced representation or manufactured empowerment arcs here: just good old-fashioned supernatural scares and family in peril.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no agenda against family, religion, or masculinity. If anything, the family takes center stage and traditional gender roles are intact (for better or worse). It doesn’t try to subvert or rewrite cultural pillars; it’s more concerned with spooks than social commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is laser-focused on horror, with no soapbox in sight. No excessive virtue signaling or cartoon villain treatment of any worldview. While there might not be much exploration of ideological diversity, there’s also nothing browbeating anyone about a modern cause.
