What We Think

A refreshingly non-woke horror series that respects its roots, 'Blood Curse' focuses on scares instead of lectures. If you’re weary of modern ideological intrusions, this one sticks to old-school storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Blood Curse' appears to center its storytelling on Indonesian folklore and horror rather than contemporary identity politics, placing narrative and atmosphere over cramming in forced representation. Characters seem grounded in their cultural context rather than written to tick modern diversity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show weaves traditional beliefs, family loyalty, and faith into its plot without heavy-handed revisionism. Religion and cultural heritage are treated as part of the mystery rather than obstacles to be mocked or deconstructed.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Rather than recycling Western ideological trends, 'Blood Curse' draws on regional beliefs. It gives voice to traditional perspectives, and there’s no obvious demonization of characters for holding conventional views.
