What We Think

If you’re tired of modern box-ticking, The Legend of Hell House is a refreshing, old-school thriller showing characters in all their flawed, and frightful, glory. No ideological strong-arming, just pure gothic chills.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film is a classic haunted house thriller from the early '70s, and identity politics are entirely absent. Characters are written for the story and atmosphere, with traits and flaws grounded in psychological and supernatural tension, not checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Masculinity, religion, science, and tradition are all taken seriously as conflicting forces. There’s no attempt to modernize values, subvert gender roles, or reframe cultural institutions. The film feels very much of its time, unapologetically so.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are central! Science vs. faith, skepticism vs. belief, everyone gets a fair hearing. There’s authentic internal debate and no strawman villains representing traditional perspectives. A true relic of a more pluralistic Hollywood era.
