Primary
The film is a horror parody comedy that primarily focuses on slapstick humor, supernatural events, and crude gags, completely lacking any discernible political themes or ideological messaging.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, including a Black lead actor, though these roles are original to the parody rather than explicit race or gender swaps of established characters. The narrative, typical of a horror-comedy spoof, focuses on humor and genre tropes without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film consistently portrays Christian religious figures and practices, particularly exorcisms, as incompetent, absurd, or easily manipulated for crude comedic effect, offering no counterbalancing respect or nuance.
The film 'A Haunted House 2' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal of queer identity or experiences to evaluate within the narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
A Haunted House 2 is a parody sequel that introduces new characters and continues the story of its original protagonist, Malcolm. It does not adapt specific characters from prior source material or historical figures with established genders, nor does it gender-swap any returning characters.
A Haunted House 2 is an original parody film and a sequel to the first movie. Its characters were either created for this film series or are new creations for the parody, without prior canonical racial establishments from other source material or real-world history.
