The film contains no visible LGBTQ+ characters or non-heteronormative identities. The narrative operates within a strictly traditional framework without exploring queer identity.

Agency is concentrated in male protagonists like the industrialist and investigator. Female characters are relegated to reactive, secondary roles within the male-led expedition.

The film uses a colonialist lens to depict indigenous populations as primitive threats. Non-white characters lack individual agency, serving instead as atmospheric plot devices.

Local spiritualism is framed as a source of danger and irrationality. The narrative validates Western perspectives by positioning voodoo as a threat to rationalism.

There is no discernible representation of physical, sensory, or neurodivergent disabilities. Characters are defined by the physical capabilities required for horror survival tropes.
