Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a classic whodunit mystery in a horror setting, with no discernible political themes or social commentary, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie 'The Terror' (1928) features a cast typical of its era, predominantly white, with no apparent intentional diversity in casting. Its narrative focuses on a mystery plot without engaging in critiques of traditional identities or incorporating DEI themes.
Secondary
The character Dale, a male detective in Edgar Wallace's original play "The Terror," is portrayed as a female character in the 1928 film adaptation. This constitutes a gender swap for a significant character.
The 1928 horror-mystery film 'The Terror' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on a whodunit plot involving a serial killer in an old manor, with no elements related to queer identity or experience.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1928 film "The Terror" is based on a 1927 play. There is no evidence that any character in the source material was canonically or widely established as a specific race and then portrayed by an actor of a different race in the film adaptation.
