What We Think

Wolf Man is not aggressively woke, but it can't help dipping its toes in Hollywood’s current trends. Traditional horror fans may notice some modern intrusions, but the film doesn’t go completely off the rails. Still, it’s got enough fashionable flourishes to remind viewers which decade it was made in.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

While Wolf Man sticks largely to the horror genre's traditions, it sprinkles in a few moments where identity factors, rather than pure story logic or character development, seem placed front and center, leading to slightly clunky narrative beats. It doesn’t completely derail the plot but does occasionally veer towards the self-conscious modern trend of checking certain boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The movie edges into undermining certain cultural foundations: masculinity is subtly pathologized (the curse as a metaphor), and traditional family dynamics get a brief side-eye. Still, it mostly pays respect to its horror roots and classic monster themes, though it can't resist a few modern tweaks to old-fashioned storytelling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There are hints of ideological uniformity and some villainizing of more traditional perspectives, mostly as background flavor rather than direct attacks. The film is more interested in atmosphere than overt lectures, but alternative views are curiously absent, and the narrative doesn't really allow much debate or diversity of worldview.
