What We Think

Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead is refreshingly non-woke. It delivers an unpretentious, testosterone-fueled zombie romp without heavy-handed lectures, ticking of boxes, or revisionist history. If you want to dodge the usual Hollywood wokeness, this one’s a rare find.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead mainly prioritizes its gritty zombie-apocalypse story and over-the-top action. Characters are defined by their personalities and roles rather than by checking identity boxes. There is virtually no sign of forced representation or flawless, preachy diverse characters; the focus is on survival and chaos, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't stray far from traditional themes of family, sacrifice, and survival. Masculinity is showcased through rugged, flawed male leads without being mocked or dismissed. Religion and traditional structures aren't undermined, and there's no effort to rewrite cultural history, it’s just gnarly zombie mayhem.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no focus on ideology, let alone an obvious monoculture. Characters aren’t mouthpieces for any modern moral stance, and traditional or dissenting perspectives aren’t ridiculed. The biggest focus is just zombie carnage and dark humor, not agenda-pushing.
