Critical Analysis of Woke Themes in Contemporary Horror Films

This chapter explores the themes of woke culture as depicted in the films 'The Craft' remake and 'The Spiral'. The discussion critiques how identity politics, particularly regarding trans representation and race dynamics, are intertwined with horror and fantasy narratives.

Speaker 1
Have you seen it? Oh, man. No. And The Spiral. Okay, so The Craft is the remake. In the 90s, teenage girls are witches or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 2
yeah, witchcraft thing. I've heard of it. Okay, well, the remake,
Speaker 1
they're super woke. One of the witches is a guy, but trans. And they use magic to turn the bully gay. And the whole thing is just this, David Duchovny turns out to be an evil wizard or something, and he's the patriarchy, and he's like, I'm going to take women's powers away from them or something. And so it's actually just mind-numbingly woke and bad. And the movie The Spiral is about an interracial gay couple that moves, he's already laughing, that moves into this house, and the neighbor is this Waspy family. And then it turns out the Waspy family are immortal because they- Spoilers. I'm telling you what it's about. They trick interracial gay couples into moving into the house so they can, they need human sacrifices to be immortal. And they can easily get people to turn against the minorities, so that's what they do. Oh my gosh. Hearing you guys comment on these would be absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 4
Hearing you tell Matt Walsh that he needs to watch this movie is hilarious. I know.
Speaker 2
So he needs to take their life force or something? But why do they need to be interracial and also gay? So
Speaker 1
in the movie, at the end, he says something like, you can't just sacrifice anybody because people will find out and they'll be mad that you did it. But when you bring a marginalized group in, and he literally says this, and I watched it, I can't remember, it's been a long time, it's a Shudder film.
