Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's primary focus on apolitical mystery and horror elements, coupled with its explicit lack of overt political themes and its centering on personal struggles, leads to a neutral rating.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features a visibly diverse cast with actors from various ethnic backgrounds, contributing to a broad portrayal of society. However, its narrative does not explicitly emphasize broader social issues or critique traditional identities, focusing instead on its mystery and horror elements.

Secondary

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

The character Joyce Reynolds, who was implicitly a young white girl in Agatha Christie's source novel "Hallowe'en Party," is portrayed by Michelle Yeoh, an actress of Malaysian Chinese descent, in the film adaptation.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

A Haunting in Venice does not feature any notable LGBTQ+ presence or themes. The film's narrative is exclusively dedicated to its mystery and horror elements, with character relationships confined to traditional family and friendship dynamics, resulting in no LGBTQ+ portrayal.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film adapts Agatha Christie's "Hallowe'en Party" but does not change the gender of any canonically established characters from the source material. While some characters are new or significantly altered, their gender aligns with the original or is a new creation.
