Cannibal Troll adheres to the standard survival horror genre. While the female-led ensemble shifts the focus away from traditional male-centric action clichés, the film lacks clear evidence of diverse representation or progressive themes. The narrative relies on familiar genre conventions, such as disrupting a celebratory event with a primal threat. This structure prioritizes survivalist elements over subverting systemic social hierarchies. Overall, the film offers a slight change in focus through its gendered setting but does not demonstrate a strong commitment to diverse representation or progressive themes.
