What We Think

"Into the Dark" is a showcase of modern Hollywood’s tendency to prioritize ideology over classical storytelling. While there are entertaining horror thrills, the social messaging often feels front and center, making this anthology a distinctly woke endeavor by any objective measure.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

"Into the Dark" often leans into current year hot-button issues, at times putting social commentary ahead of organic storytelling. Several episodes seem to build plots around identity or topical themes. The focus on representation occasionally overshadows more nuanced character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Many episodes reinterpret traditional values, especially regarding family, gender, and morality. Masculinity is sometimes depicted as threatening, while more progressive values are spotlighted. Religion and old-school morality largely take a back seat or are used as sources of tension rather than guidance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There is a definite lean toward a single worldview, with alternative or traditional perspectives frequently appearing as outmoded or outright villainous. Dissenting characters rarely get sympathetic treatment, and diversity tends to be celebrated only on specific ideological terms.
