Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a family facing an external, non-human threat, a subject matter that inherently lacks strong political valence. While themes of family protection and self-reliance are present, they are universal to the horror genre and do not explicitly promote a specific political ideology, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative centers on a family facing an external threat, without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
