Haunted Universities offers a culturally specific alternative to Western horror by focusing on Thai urban legends and folklore. It avoids Western-centric clichés, providing a localized perspective on fear and superstition. However, the film adheres closely to traditional genre conventions. It lacks the complexity needed to address multiple aspects of identity or broader social issues, staying within a standard horror anthology format. Ultimately, the film explores supernatural themes within a Thai context without addressing broader social or identity-based issues.
