Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film primarily focuses on apolitical themes of family, love, revenge, and the comedic clash of eras, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features a predominantly traditional cast, with no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on the comedic and dramatic elements of a historical character adapting to a new era, without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its story.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NeutralConfidence: High

Dark Shadows includes a brief, comedic moment where the anachronistic Barnabas Collins misinterprets a teenager's identity, asking if she 'prefers the company of women.' This incidental depiction is played for humor at Barnabas's expense, rather than mocking LGBTQ+ identity, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The 2012 film adaptation of "Dark Shadows" retains the established genders for all its major and legacy characters from the original television series. No characters canonically established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender in this movie.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The 2012 film adaptation of Dark Shadows maintains the established racial portrayals of its core characters from the original television series. All major characters are cast with actors of the same race as their canonical predecessors.
