The Curse of Grete Müller is a genre-driven horror film that uses historical trauma to fuel its found-footage narrative. While it lacks contemporary characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity, it effectively uses the horror framework to challenge traditional historical hierarchies. The film's strength lies in its thematic critique of institutional oppression, focusing on the judicial targeting of a woman accused of witchcraft. However, the film remains limited by its specific cultural setting and lack of diverse casting, offering little in the way of modern racial or LGBTQ+ diversity.
