Bathroom Troll uses horror clichés to explore social alienation and the pressures of conformity. By focusing on a character underrepresented for her appearance, the film critiques traditional gender performance and social hierarchies. The narrative shifts power from social aggressors to a supernatural force, providing a chaotic form of ability to act to the protagonist. However, the film's scope is limited by a lack of information regarding racial, ethnic, or disability representation, with the focus remaining primarily on gendered social norms and the psychological impact of non-conformity.
