Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict is a direct consequence of the violent dispossession and massacre of a Roma community by a wealthy landowner, serving as a powerful allegory for historical injustice and the enduring consequences of oppression.
The film features traditional casting consistent with its 19th-century European setting, without explicit race or gender swaps. However, its narrative strongly critiques a traditional power figure, portraying a wealthy white male landowner as the instigator of the central conflict and horror through his violent actions against a marginalized community.
Secondary
The film portrays Christian institutions and figures as largely ineffective against the supernatural threat. The nominal Christianity of the landowning class is depicted as hypocritical, masking their cruelty and greed, which directly fuels the film's central horror.
The Cursed, a period horror film, does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a supernatural curse affecting a 19th-century French village and its inhabitants, without incorporating elements related to queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
