Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film is an apolitical horror survival narrative and board game commercial, lacking any identifiable political or ideological themes or messages, thus earning a neutral rating.
This short promotional film for a board game does not provide substantive content for DEI analysis due to its lack of developed narrative or character arcs. It maintains a traditional horror slasher framework without explicit engagement with diversity, equity, or inclusion themes, and there is no indication of intentional DEI-driven casting or narrative focus.
Secondary
Michael Myers, a character canonically established as white in the original Halloween series, is portrayed by Lito Velasco, who is likely Hispanic/Latino, in the 2023 short film. This casting choice represents a race swap for the character.
Halloween II: The Game (2023) does not explicitly portray the LGBTQ community within its narrative or character portrayals. The film maintains a traditional horror focus without clear LGBTQ thematic elements or representation, leading to a net impact of N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film's characters, including the main character Michael Myers, are consistently portrayed with their established canonical genders. There is no evidence of any character having an on-screen gender that differs from their source material.
