What We Think

A History of Horror is refreshingly non-woke, sticking to honest film history and genre critique, with virtually no ideological intrusions. A rare example of a documentary that lets the subject speak for itself.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses primarily on the evolution of horror films, hosted by critic Mark Gatiss. There's little evidence of forced representation or shoehorned identity narratives, this is a straightforward documentary respecting its subject matter.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values and the cultural context of horror are discussed authentically, without attempts to rewrite or undermine historical events, religion, or family dynamics. The series respects horror's roots rather than trying to reframe them for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no detectable ideological monoculture, alternative viewpoints on horror are presented respectfully. The focus is on the cinematic craft and genre history rather than pushing a contemporary agenda.
