Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Lazarus Effect" doesn’t prioritize identity politics or showcase forced representation. The diverse cast feels organic within a horror-science context and characters’ personalities matter more than identity traits. The story’s focus is on the supernatural and science rather than social ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film touches on themes of religion and the afterlife but doesn’t specifically undermine faith or traditional morality. Some standard horror tropes about the dangers of 'playing God' are present, but nothing radically subversive for its genre.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the group of scientists doesn’t feature much worldview diversity, there’s no overt mocking or villainization of traditional perspectives. Ideology isn’t center stage; the film cares more about scares and thrills than social messaging.
