Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Two Evil Eyes" sticks closely to its horror anthology roots, adapting classic Edgar Allan Poe stories without inserting modern identity politics. Its focus is on atmosphere and storytelling rather than emphasizing characters’ identities over their roles within the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't bother much with themes around religion, family, or traditional gender roles, it's much more interested in creeping horror. There’s little to suggest the subversion or elevation of particular cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

It would be a stretch to find ideological monoculture here. The worldview is old-school horror: bleak, ambiguous, with no preachy agenda in sight. Any 'message' is buried beneath blood and ghostly happenings.
