Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter, a supernatural curse, is inherently apolitical, focusing on individual terror and psychological torment without advocating for or against any specific political ideology or social policy.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast in its ensemble, including a white female lead and a Hispanic male partner, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily focuses on the horror elements, maintaining a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities without incorporating explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The Grudge (2020) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is exclusively focused on the supernatural horror elements and the progression of the curse, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film's storyline.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features the established characters Kayako and Toshio, who maintain their canonical genders from previous installments. New characters introduced in this film are not gender-swapped versions of existing characters.
The 2019 film introduces a new cast of characters and a new storyline within the established Grudge universe. It does not feature the recasting of any previously established legacy characters from prior installments with actors of a different race. The iconic Japanese ghosts remain consistent with their established race.
