The film contains no evidence of LGBTQ+ characters or non-cisnormative identities. The narrative focus remains strictly on a singular protagonist and a supernatural threat.

The story centers on a male protagonist, leaving female agency and gendered power dynamics unexamined. There is no visible subversion of traditional gender hierarchies.

While the title invokes Middle Eastern folklore, the cast's ethnic composition is not confirmed. The score reflects a baseline for using specific cultural mythology.

The use of a non-Western mythological entity disrupts standard Western horror tropes. However, the film lacks deeper engagement with systemic or secularist critiques.

The protagonist is a mute boy, providing a central character with a visible disability. It remains unclear if this portrayal offers nuanced autonomy or serves a plot device.
