What We Think

Vicious Fun is more interested in being, well, viciously fun than woke. It gleefully mocks horror traditions but doesn’t push any modern ideological agenda. If you’re tired of preachy scripts, this one will feel refreshingly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Vicious Fun largely prioritizes its satirical horror premise and dark humor over overt identity politics. Characters are true to their genre archetypes, with their quirks and downfalls stemming from personality rather than identity. There is little indication of casting or story decisions made purely for ideological reasons here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film stays focused on its horror-comedy premise, poking fun at the 1980s and horror tropes more than targeting traditional values. It doesn’t appear to undercut religion, family, or masculinity in any aggressive or snide way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film plays with stereotypes for comic effect, it doesn’t lean on political villainization of traditional or alternative viewpoints. It’s more about lampooning horror conventions, so ideological uniformity is not a noticeable theme.
