Pha-Q woke's Reviews

Not really woke. Low IQ Nonsense for Gen Z and The Chinese Market.
Only real woke is all the diversity checkboxes in casting. This obviously is pandering to China with all the Chinese characters and half the movie in Chinese with subtitles. The acting is ok at best. The VFX are all over the place with some looking really good and others just laughably awkward. The writing though is just awful. Forget everything you know about the laws of physics and reality if you plan on watching this. This is fast and furious levels of stupidity that only a brain dead gen z could think is good.

Typical Gender Reversal Woke
This exact movie has been done many times before this time with the typical gender reversal. The male lead is a needy overly emotional complete bumbling idiot. Female is a the usual 'badass female' role with tiny 5'6 120lb lead manhandling 6' male and overpowering and throwing large men threw the air. The acting and dialogue are horrible. The music and soundtrack are so out of place and awful. The action scenes are laugh out loud comically bad. Best to just avoid this nonsense.

Diversity Hire Nun In An Average Horror Movie
Token sidekick black nun in 1950's France...sure. Of course she's the rebellious type. The character is only there for one reason and could of been completely written out and changed nothing. The acting is good, the atmosphere is creepy but it's just not very scary. It depends way to much on jump scares and loud noises than actual horror. It's not the worst but the original is much better.

Children of the Corn Meets The Purge
Small town 1963 middle America and the female lead is of course black and of course she's the white males love interest. She's also the typical brave smart female to the cowardly males. She also pulls the 'I'm oppressed' race card multiple times. You can of course guess who survives. Such a shame as this is actually a fairly well made movie with decent acting and FX. Some good kills and blood and gore but it would of been better to ramp up the horror aspect more. The creature design is good but it's not really scary or menacing. Still worth a one time watch if you can take the wokeness.

Minor Woke, Typical CW Quality
Some diversity casting. Villain is a white male while leader of the 'good' group is the typical 'badass' female. White male leads 'friend' is a black female setting up the obvious mixed race couple. Mediocre acting and fight sequences though the VFX are not too bad. Weak writing with plot holes and inconsistencies. Way to much unnecessary soapy relationship forced drama.

Mild Woke, Not Really Horror
Established early that the female in the group is the smartest most capable best interrogator there is. Also some male bashing comments at the beginning as well. This is not really horror but a psychological look at PTSD the aftermath of war. Very slow and mostly just a group of people talking in a single room the entire movie. Acting is decent and FX are ok but the VFX are not so good. Also these people are way to old for the part. Supposedly they were in WWII and the movie takes place in 1945. All the actors are late 50's early 60's and the average soldier was 26 with the vast majority in there 20's to 30's. This should of been set 10-15 years later to make sense.

Woke casting, Network Quality
Based on the first 2 episodes only. Lots of diversity casting, rebel leader is the typical 'female badass" POC. Father makes lots of mistakes and son is a bit of an idiot while the mom is smart and the daughter is a genius. Otherwise some pretty bad acting and questionable FX even for 2011 standards. Story is very cliché and it's obvious a large part of it will focus on the usual stupid kids doing stupid things. No surprise this was cancelled after only 1 season.

Not Really Woke, Just So Very Corny
So at the 1 hour mark I gave up but didn't notice anything really woke up to that point. Although there is a very heavily black cast it takes place in New Orleans which is majority black so wouldn't really call that woke. The acting is not very good. The writing and dialogue in particular are so corny and cheesy and none of the jokes are funny. Although it's PG-13 there are no scares and the whole thing is played as a slapstick comedy, it just doesn't work.

Low Budget Badly Made Horror
Mixed race couple again with token black character, woke remarks about gender politics. Horrible acting, dialogue and FX with a generic story make this one to skip.
