Center
Primary
The film primarily explores universal human experiences of grief, trauma, and fear within a family context, focusing on personal and familial resilience against a supernatural threat without engaging with broader political or ideological issues.
The movie features a diverse supporting cast, but its main characters are traditionally cast. The narrative primarily focuses on themes of grief and a supernatural threat, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
Secondary
The Boogeyman, a horror film, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a heterosexual family's struggle with grief and a supernatural entity, resulting in no applicable LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts Stephen King's short story. Key characters from the source material, such as Lester Billings and Dr. Harper, maintain their established genders. The film introduces new characters (Sadie and Sawyer Harper) rather than gender-swapping existing ones from the original story.
The film adapts Stephen King's short story. Key characters from the source material, such as Lester Billings and Dr. Harper, are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with the implied or unspecified race in the original text. The main protagonists, Sadie and Sawyer Harper, are new characters created for the film adaptation, thus their casting does not constitute a race swap.
