The film follows conventional romantic tropes centered on a heterosexual fixation. There is no evidence of non-cisnormative identities or narratives that challenge heteronormativity.

The narrative relies on traditional hierarchies where male agency is defined by physical dominance. Female characters like Sylvia serve primarily as romantic objects or emotional catalysts.

While the film incorporates Caribbean Voodoo mythology, it risks utilizing exoticism tropes. The central character's identity is tied more to supernatural horror than nuanced ethnic representation.

Spiritual practices are used as a spectacle for horror rather than for meaningful cultural critique. The film focuses on localized terror rather than systemic or institutional commentary.

The antagonist's physical transformations are presented as supernatural horror elements. There is no evidence of the portrayal of lived physical or neurodivergent disabilities.
