Ju-rei: The Uncanny

The film focuses on a group of students and investigators but does not include any LGBTQ+ characters or stories involving non-assuming gender matches what was assigned at birth identities.

The film features a predominantly female cast, but the characters mostly play traditional horror roles such as victims or investigators without challenging gender hierarchies.

The cast and setting are overwhelmingly homogeneous, reflecting the domestic Japanese context. It does not include diverse ethnic backgrounds or a globalized perspective.

The narrative operates within a secular, urban framework centered on urban legends. It maintains a neutral stance toward traditional values or institutional critiques.

There are no characters with visible or invisible disabilities. The story prioritizes supernatural terror over the lived experiences of neurodivergence or physical impairment.
