American Horror House operates as a conventional horror film that adheres to established genre conventions. While the sorority setting provides a female-centric backdrop, the narrative fails to disrupt traditional social hierarchies. The representation of diversity remains superficial. The cast list indicates some ethnic variety, but the film lacks the depth needed to integrate these identities into the core plot or power structures. Overall, the film adheres to a standard Western framework, focusing on individual revenge and traditional social institutions without critiquing systemic oppression or non-traditional identities.
