The female lead is portrayed through her vulnerability, and the conflict is resolved through the authority of a religious figure, indicating a conservative narrative framework. Ultimately, the film prioritizes genre-driven supernatural conflict over a diverse or deconstructive exploration of identity, reflecting conventional social structures.
