What We Think

The Other Side of the Door avoids most modern "woke" pitfalls. It is a traditional horror film that sticks to genre tropes and character-driven storytelling without strong ideological messaging or forced representation. Pretty non-woke by current Hollywood standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie focuses mainly on its supernatural horror storyline and emotional themes of grief, with little evidence of identity politics hijacking the plot. Character development seems consistent and not overtly influenced by modern ideological checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While it explores aspects of Hindu rituals and Indian culture, it presents them primarily for suspense rather than promoting or disparaging traditional beliefs. There's little undermining of family or morality, though Western perspectives are centered in an Eastern setting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional viewpoints are present, and alternative perspectives aren't villainized or caricatured. The tension rests on supernatural themes rather than pressing social ideologies, so there’s minimal evidence of ideological monoculture.
