Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict, revolving around child abuse and supernatural evil, is explored through a highly personal and spiritual lens, offering no political solutions or advocating for specific societal reforms, thus aligning with a neutral stance.
The movie features traditional casting that aligns with its established universe and setting, without intentional race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative explores themes of personal trauma and supernatural evil, rather than focusing on explicit critiques of traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its story.
Secondary
The film utilizes Christian symbolism, such as Laura's cross necklace and the appearance of an angel, to frame her profound spiritual struggle against evil. Her final vision of an angel, offering a moment of peace and redemption, aligns the narrative with the dignity of a spiritual dimension and the possibility of grace amidst suffering.
