The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or narratives that engage with non-cisnormative identities. It follows a traditional structure that does not seek to expand queer visibility.

The story prioritizes male-centric struggles and personal isolation. While the setting implies a social gathering, there is little evidence of female agency or subverted gender hierarchies.

The 1930s period setting leans toward the homogeneous social structures typical of the era. There is no evidence of non-white agency or intentional intersectional casting.

The film explores economic decay and the decline of the American Midwest. It uses religious themes within a small-town atmosphere rather than a secular narrative.

There is no representation of visible or invisible disabilities. The focus on demonic possession functions more as a metaphor for madness than a nuanced portrayal of disability.
