The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or narratives that critique heteronormativity. The central relationship is a traditional engagement between a male character and a female fiancée.

The plot is initiated by a female character, but primary investigative agency belongs to the male protagonists. Roles align with standard horror archetypes rather than subverting gender hierarchies.

The narrative focuses on a localized legend and a small group of investigators. There is no evidence of race-bent casting or high-agency characters of color.

The story utilizes spiritualism through séance rituals. It centers on a historical figure associated with medical tragedy without offering an explicit critique of Western institutions.

The asylum setting suggests a preoccupation with mental health history. However, it is unclear if these themes provide nuanced representation or serve merely as atmospheric horror tropes.
