Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film focuses on an apolitical conflict between individual reason and specific instances of corruption and superstition, rather than promoting or critiquing a broader political ideology or societal system. Its solution emphasizes individual heroism in restoring order, leading to a neutral rating.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features traditional casting that aligns with its historical setting, without any explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on a gothic horror mystery, and it does not present a critical portrayal of traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes as central to its story.
