House of Darkness follows traditional horror conventions, emphasizing isolation and domesticity. The narrative architecture relies heavily on established thriller clichés, prioritizing psychological tension over social critique. The film lacks evidence of diverse identities or subversive casting, instead focusing on a traditional pairing that does not challenge existing social norms. Without identity-driven plot arcs or a diverse cast, the work remains within a conventional framework.
