Haunted Changi operates primarily as a localized horror film. It stands out by focusing on Singaporean history and featuring a local cast, which breaks from Western-centric horror. However, the film adheres closely to standard genre conventions, emphasizing suspense and mystery over deep character development or social identity exploration. While it is culturally grounded, it does not delve deeply enough to challenge systemic hierarchies. Ultimately, the film is a technically proficient found-footage horror that offers regional authenticity without tackling progressive social issues.
