In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Despite its campy style and female-led cast, 'The Slumber Party Massacre' mostly delivers genre fun without heavy-handed identity politics. By today’s standards, its 'wokeness' is pretty tame.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film features an all-female cast in lead roles, it mostly sticks to genre basics and doesn’t overtly sacrifice narrative for ideology. Characters are largely driven by the slasher plot rather than their identities, and the film remains focused on classic horror tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s some subversion of gender roles, as the female characters are central and ultimately fight back, but traditional depictions of masculinity and femininity are more lampooned than dismantled. The satire is pretty mild by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional views aren't aggressively mocked; the film doesn't present a strong ideological message or overt villainization of dissenting perspectives. It's more a play on genre conventions than a soapbox for ideology.
