The film strictly adheres to the conventions of the found-footage horror subgenre. It focuses on creating an atmosphere of tension and supernatural suspense rather than exploring diverse human experiences or social commentary. The narrative does not intentionally disrupt traditional social hierarchies. Instead, it presents a standard ensemble cast without progressive representation or diverse identities. Overall, the film serves as a genre-specific thriller that follows traditional horror clichés.
