Baby Shower successfully shifts the horror genre by placing a female ensemble at the center of a violent, action-driven plot. This move away from the traditional damsel-in-distress cliché allows women to drive the tension through themes of betrayal and sacrifice. However, the film remains rooted in conventional social structures. Its focus on a traditional baby shower and the absence of visible LGBTQ+ or multi-ethnic representation limit its broader impact. Ultimately, the film explores dark power struggles within a Chilean context, offering a gender-centric perspective within a standard regional demographic.
