Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Possession sticks to traditional horror tropes, focusing on family drama and supernatural elements. Characters are cast in a straightforward manner and identity politics don’t drive the plot. Narrative integrity remains solid, with little evidence of forced representation or ideological agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film portrays a nuclear family struggling with supernatural events and doesn't attempt to undermine religion or traditional values. Spiritual themes are handled within the context of folklore rather than subverting cultural foundations. There's no revisionist twist to the storytelling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are not villainized, and the movie doesn't seem interested in making social commentary at all. The focus remains on horror and character-driven suspense rather than ideological consensus.
