The film lacks any discernible engagement with queer subtext or non-heteronormative identities. The narrative focuses entirely on a supernatural framework within a closed group of female students.

The story disrupts traditional hierarchies by centering its narrative agency on a female ensemble. These women occupy roles of high psychological intensity, moving away from common horror tropes like the damsel in distress.

Set in 1930s England, the cast is predominantly white to reflect the historical setting of an elite British boarding school. The film does not utilize color-blind casting or introduce diverse ethnic perspectives.

The film explores spiritualism and mediumship rather than organized religious institutions. This focus on individualistic metaphysical experiences suggests a leaning toward secular or non-specific spirituality.

There is no representation of physical or neurodivergent disabilities within the character arcs. Characters are defined by social connections and reactions to the supernatural rather than through disability.
