Progressive
Primary
The film leans left due to its strong critique of the military's descent into authoritarianism and misogyny, presenting traditional power structures as a primary threat to humanity, while championing a non-traditional, mutually supportive family unit as the path to survival.
The movie features visible diversity in its main cast. Its narrative strongly critiques traditional male power structures, explicitly portraying male military figures as villains who engage in predatory behavior against female survivors, making this a central theme.
Secondary
The film depicts a church as a site of horror and death, with its priest transformed into an infected monster. This portrays the religious institution as utterly failed and corrupted in the face of the apocalypse, offering no sanctuary or hope.
