What We Think

For anyone tired of overly 'woke' horror, The Void is a palate cleanser. It focuses on terror instead of identity, avoiding modern ideological pitfalls. Cosmic dread, not culture war, takes center stage.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Void sticks to a classic cosmic horror formula. Character decisions are driven by plot and survival instinct, not identity politics or box-checking. There’s no overbearing focus on race, gender, or sexuality, letting the horror do the heavy lifting. It’s refreshingly old-school.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

No subversion of classical norms detected. Family dynamics, morality, and tradition aren’t mocked or re-engineered, the film simply doesn’t seem interested in lecturing anyone. It’s more concerned with monsters and madness than with rewriting any cultural baseline.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Characters display a range of motivations but aren’t walking billboards for any ideology. There’s no preachiness or cartoonish villainy aimed at traditional perspectives. The horror feels ideologically agnostic, if anything.
