What We Think

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is as far from 'woke' as a film can get, pure 80s horror chaos, blissfully uninterested in modern ideological battles.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is more focused on over-the-top horror and dark comedy than pushing any modern ideological agenda. Characters are defined by their roles (e.g., deranged family, radio DJ) not by their identity traits. Forced representation, identity-based casting, or flawless diverse characters are nowhere to be found in this 1986 bloodbath.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the Sawyer family is hardly the poster child for traditional values, the film doesn't mock or undermine religion, masculinity, or family in any way intended to fit current ideological trends. It's simply a bizarre horror romp, not a cultural treatise.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no evidence of ideological monoculture here. The film is entirely apolitical, with its focus on quirky horror and absurdity rather than social commentary. You’d be hard-pressed to find an 'agenda' if you tried.
