Infernal operates within a highly conventional framework, emphasizing traditional domesticity and straight-centered family dynamics. The story relies on established horror clichés centered around a standard nuclear family unit. The film lacks depth in representing diverse racial, ethnic, or LGBTQ+ identities. It adheres to a traditionalist approach to the genre, focusing on the disruption of a standard social order. Because the narrative avoids subverting social hierarchies or exploring non-traditional identities, it remains a narrow, conventional viewing experience.
