Review
A group of young urban explorers and influencers called the Creepers livestream their stunt inside an old abandoned hotel rumored to hold treasure and ghosts from its mobster past. They face a rival group also hunting the prize and a supernatural creature that stalks them, along with hints of dark rituals and prophecy. The film adds some light, background poking at how far people push risky stunts for social media views and fame, but these moments stay minor and do not become lectures on identity, society, or politics.
Breakdown
These are the editorial factors and ratings behind our score for Do Not Enter.
Woke representation / casting
The ensemble includes actors of various backgrounds playing a group of young urban explorers and influencers in a present-day setting. This fits typical modern Hollywood casting for ensemble horror without clear emphasis on identity signaling or quota-style choices in key roles.
Woke political dialogue
No evidence from reviews, trailers, or materials of activist speeches, identity-focused talks, or political messaging in the story or marketing.
Identity-driven story themes
The core plot follows supernatural horror, survival against a creature, and rivalry over hidden treasure in a haunted hotel. Only light, incidental social media fame-seeking elements appear and do not drive identity-based plots or messaging.
Western institutional / cultural critique
There is very mild and incidental satire on Gen Z influencer culture and chasing online fame through dangerous stunts, shown as character motivation and occasional cringe comedy rather than pointed critique of Western institutions, capitalism, patriarchy, or social norms.
Woke character or canon changes
Not relevant. The film adapts David Morrell’s 2005 novel Creepers with ordinary screen changes for visuals and pacing; no reports of identity-driven or DEI-motivated alterations to characters or source material.
Anti-woke backlash and complaints
No anti-woke or right-leaning complaints exist accusing the film of pushing woke, DEI, or identity politics messaging. All available criticism targets entertainment quality and horror execution only.
Creator track record context
Key creatives come from music video direction, horror screenwriting, and mainstream production backgrounds with no recurring pattern of identity-driven, activist, or social-justice themed work.
