Primary
The film's core conflict revolves around psychological horror and the personal struggle with trauma, which are presented as universal human experiences rather than being tied to specific political ideologies or societal critiques. Its narrative solution emphasizes individual confrontation with an overwhelming evil, maintaining a neutral stance on political issues.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, though its central protagonist is a white female, and there are no explicit instances of traditionally white roles being recast for diversity. The narrative primarily focuses on psychological horror and trauma, without critically portraying traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
