Inquilinos is a localized horror film that prioritizes atmospheric dread and domestic tension over social commentary. The narrative structure centers on a traditional domestic unit, which limits its engagement with the way different parts of someone's identity overlap. The film operates within standard genre clichés, focusing on the sanctity of the home and the intrusion of past occupants. This focus results in a homogeneous social environment that lacks significant racial or cultural diversity. Ultimately, the work functions as a genre-specific exercise in psychological horror. It adheres to conventional frameworks rather than seeking to disrupt established social hierarchies or explore diverse lived experiences.
