What We Think

The Quiet Ones is refreshingly non-woke by Hollywood standards, a conventional horror offering that favors narrative integrity and period accuracy over modern ideological messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Quiet Ones focuses primarily on horror and character-driven storytelling, with little emphasis on contemporary identity politics or forced representation. Character backgrounds and development are based more on plot needs and historical setting than on ticking diversity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes like religion, family, and morality are handled in a period-appropriate way, without heavy-handed subversion. Traditional roles and beliefs are depicted without mockery or revisionism, staying true to its early-70s setting and Hammer Film roots.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t push a modern ideological worldview. Characters present varying perspectives on science vs. the supernatural, and no side is unfairly caricatured. There is no clear villainization of traditional or alternative perspectives.
