The Haunted operates as a traditional horror film focused on individual survival. It includes a female protagonist and a character with a cognitive disability. However, the narrative heavily relies on established genre conventions. The film does not challenge systemic power structures or explore diverse identities. Instead, it centers on the psychological and physical tension experienced by a caregiver confronting supernatural threats. Overall, while the film offers some representation through its lead and patient, it falls short in providing depth to challenge societal norms.
