The film primarily adheres to established horror genre conventions. While it includes a prominent Latin American urban legend, it does not use this folklore to challenge social hierarchies or provide diverse representation. The narrative structure prioritizes genre-standard tension and survival clichés over progressive storytelling. This results in a work that engages with cultural myth but lacks deeper systemic subversion. Ultimately, the production functions as a traditional paranormal investigation tale rather than a vehicle for social or cultural critique.
