Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter and its narrative problem/solution are entirely focused on supernatural horror, lacking any discernible political themes or ideological messaging.
The movie features a cast with visible racial diversity among its main characters. Its narrative, however, is a straightforward supernatural horror story that does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes as central to its plot.
Secondary
The film "The Bye Bye Man" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative primarily focuses on heterosexual relationships and a supernatural horror plot, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Bye Bye Man is an original horror film, not an adaptation of existing material with established characters or a reboot of a prior ensemble. All characters were created for this specific film, thus no gender swaps occurred from pre-existing canonical sources.
The film is an adaptation of a short story that focuses on a supernatural entity and its lore, rather than specific characters with established racial identities.
