The film centers on a conventional heterosexual romance between the protagonist and her boyfriend. It lacks any depiction of non-cisnormative identities or same-sex intimacy.

Linda provides a degree of female-led agency as the protagonist. However, her arc often relies on the 'distressed woman' trope as she loses bodily autonomy to possession.

The cast is predominantly white, reflecting a homogeneous, middle-class suburban demographic. Characters of color are absent from roles of high agency or complexity.

The story focuses on occultism and mediumship within a standard supernatural framework. It does not challenge religion, capitalism, or traditional family structures.

Psychological distress and loss of mental agency serve as horror plot devices. The film lacks a nuanced exploration of neurodivergence or lived experience with mental illness.
