Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film stays focused on its strange horror narrative and eccentric characters rather than pushing any ideological agenda. Casting appears based on character fit and tone, not identity politics. The story revolves around classic folklore tropes without forcing modern themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While it does poke fun at some traditional beliefs and religion (it's a cheeky horror-comedy, after all), the film treats these elements as playful set dressing rather than targets for ideological takedowns. Gender roles and British folklore remain intact, if a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no overt ideological messaging. Characters feel like quirky individuals, not mouthpieces for a particular worldview. Traditional perspectives are presented for narrative flavor rather than for ridicule or villainization.
