Spirit: The Beginning of Fear

The film does not explore queer themes or question the assumption that everyone is straight. Instead, it focuses on supernatural elements.

The story centers on the aftermath of a violent crime, with little indication of women taking a leading role or challenging traditional gender roles.

As a South Korean production, the film offers a non-Western perspective but does not delve into broader ethnic diversity or symbolic representations.

The film explores traditional spiritual beliefs through a horror lens, adhering to typical genre standards without critiquing social or political structures.

The film does not include characters with neurodivergent conditions or physical disabilities, nor does it give these characters meaningful roles.
