The film is a supernatural horror movie centered on a vengeful ghost and its curse. Its core conflict and the characters' attempts at a solution are entirely apolitical, focusing on universal themes of fear and survival against an existential, non-ideological threat.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, particularly in its supporting roles within the apartment building setting, and maintains the Japanese origins of its core supernatural characters. The narrative, however, does not engage in any explicit or subtle critique of traditional identities, focusing instead on its supernatural horror elements.
