House of Shadows is a conventional horror film that heavily relies on established genre clichés. While it avoids the common cliché of the passive female victim by giving the protagonist a leading role, the film stays within a very narrow social framework. The narrative is deeply rooted in traditional domestic mystery and familial trauma. It lacks the complexity needed to challenge broader social or cultural hierarchies. Ultimately, the film serves as a standard supernatural thriller that emphasizes ancestral legacy over social or cultural subversion.
