Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central themes revolve around psychological horror, an individual's phobia, and the descent into madness, which are apolitical and do not promote or critique any specific political ideology.
The movie features a traditional, predominantly white cast consistent with its era and genre, without any intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative centers on classic gothic horror themes of fear and obsession, and does not include any explicit DEI critiques of traditional identities or incorporate DEI themes into its core story.
Secondary
The Premature Burial, a psychological horror film from Roger Corman's Poe cycle, contains no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story centers on a man's intense phobia and its tragic consequences, with all character arcs and plot points existing outside of queer representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts Edgar Allan Poe's short story, which features a male narrator. The movie's protagonist, Guy Carrell, is also male. Other significant characters are original to the film or expanded without changing the gender of established source material characters.
The film adapts Edgar Allan Poe's 1844 short story. The original text does not specify character races, but the setting and context imply white characters. The 1962 film's main cast are all white, consistent with the source's implicit racial background.
