It avoids the pitfalls of cultural homogeneity and offers a non-Western perspective on the horror genre. However, the film adheres closely to conventional storytelling methods and does not incorporate the multi-layered complexity or subversion of traditional hierarchies necessary for a higher diversity rating.
