The film adheres to the heteronormative social frameworks of the early 1970s. There is no evidence of non-cisnormative gender identities or same-sex intimacy present in the narrative.

Character dynamics largely reinforce traditional gender hierarchies. Male characters occupy the primary roles of investigators and survivalists, while female characters are often positioned in roles of vulnerability.

Set in 1970s London, the film presents a largely homogeneous, white, working-class cast. There is an absence of diverse ethnic identities within the primary ensemble.

The story operates within a traditional Western framework of social order. The conflict focuses on biological survival rather than a critique of capitalism, religion, or patriotism.

The film lacks characters with visible or invisible disabilities portrayed with agency. The subterranean antagonists are framed through the lens of monstrosity rather than nuanced disability exploration.
