Average Rating
No ratings yetSynopsis
When Elena Castaño was a child, she was able to communicate with the spirits of the dead - but that ability disappeared when she grew up. Now, Elena and her sister Ursula survive making fake seances. Elena, sick of this life, has decided that tonight she will hold her last session. Everything is ready, but there's one guest more - a guest that no one expected.
Where to Watch
Diversity & Representation
Overall Score
5.5/10
Fair
Category Breakdown
LGBTQ+ Representation
The film lacks explicit depictions of LGBTQ+ identities or non-heteronormative dynamics. The narrative focuses primarily on the sibling bond between Elena and Ursula.
Gender Representation
The story centers on female agency through Elena and Ursula. Elena’s decision to abandon her current lifestyle suggests a subversion of passive or traditional domestic roles.
Racial & Ethnic Diversity
A multicultural cast is suggested by names like Ruxandra Oancea and Maya Reyes. However, the specific intersectional roles of these characters remain unclear.
Religious & Cultural Diversity
The plot explores skepticism versus spirituality through the lens of fake seances. This approach offers a cynical view of traditional spiritual institutions and social norms.
Disability Representation
There is no explicit mention of physical, neurodivergent, or mental health disabilities portrayed with agency in the narrative.
Strengths
- The narrative prioritizes female agency and autonomy.
- The cast features a multicultural ensemble of actors.
- The film subverts traditional patriarchal horror structures.
Areas for Improvement
- The film lacks explicit LGBTQ+ representation.
- There is a lack of visible intersectional depth.
- The narrative does not address disability with agency.
AI Analysis
The film distinguishes itself by centering its narrative on female autonomy and professional transition. By focusing on Elena's existential shift, the story moves away from typical male-centric horror tropes. While the cast suggests a multicultural ensemble, the film lacks deep intersectional storytelling. The representation remains moderate rather than transformative, as character identities are not explicitly tied to social hierarchies. Ultimately, the work provides meaningful representation through its female-led structure, but it lacks the explicit queer presence or systemic critique needed for a higher score.
