Traditional
Primary
The film leans right due to its strong emphasis on traditional Christian faith, the power of prayer, and the individual spiritual battle against a clear, external evil as the primary solutions to its central conflict, aligning with conservative values.
The movie features traditional casting for its central characters, consistent with their real-life inspirations, and does not demonstrate explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its narrative focuses on a supernatural horror plot without critically portraying traditional identities or centering explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film consistently portrays Christian faith, particularly Catholicism, and its rituals (exorcism, prayer) as the primary and effective defense against demonic evil. The Warrens' deep faith is depicted as virtuous and essential, aligning the narrative with the dignity and protective power of the faith.
The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on a demonic possession case and the paranormal investigation, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features historical figures and established characters from previous installments, all of whom maintain their original genders. New characters introduced in this film do not replace any pre-existing characters of a different gender.
The film portrays real historical figures and established characters from the Conjuring universe, all of whom are depicted by actors matching their historically or canonically established race. No instances of a race swap were identified.
