What We Think

Vacancy is about as non-woke as it gets these days. The film is a pure thriller, untouched by modern ideological trends or box-ticking representation. It’s just two people trying to survive a nightmare, with no forced agendas in sight.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Vacancy is a straightforward thriller with a focus on suspense and survival rather than identity politics. The characters’ traits and roles are driven by the plot, not modern ideological boxes. There’s little evidence that diversity is shoehorned in or that narrative integrity is sacrificed for ideological goals.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no discernible effort to undermine family, religion, or traditional values in this film. The protagonists are a married couple, and the story is more about terror and survival than any cultural critique. It doesn't push any modern re-interpretation of traditional roles or values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This film essentially avoids contemporary ideological preaching. Characters do not express modern ideological talking points and alternative worldviews aren't villainized or highlighted. The focus stays firmly on the horror scenario, without moral lecturing or monocultural narratives.
