Nightmare Weekend centers its narrative on female characters, placing women in positions of scientific authority and central roles. This challenges the cliché of male authority figures in horror films. However, the film lacks evidence of racial, ethnic, or LGBTQ+ diversity, leaving the cast's composition unknown. Additionally, the reliance on traditional genre clichés suggests a narrow narrative scope. Furthermore, the depiction of mutations risks using physical alterations as horror spectacles rather than nuanced characterizations.

The story uses the mad scientist cliché to explore scientific ethics but does not provide much insight into its stance on social structures or institutions.
