Turtle Island explores folklore through a niche, genre-specific lens rather than as a vehicle for social commentary. The found-footage horror framework emphasizes survival clichés over complex sociological frameworks or multi-layered storytelling. The production adheres to conventional genre expectations, focusing on a group of friends in the Vermont woods. This setup results in a narrative structure that lacks intentionality regarding diverse representation or challenging traditional social hierarchies.

The story centers on localized folklore and Bigfoot hunting without critiquing Western institutions or promoting secularism.
